Hello. After verifying that it fixes the autopkgtests in Salsa CI, I've made a team upload incorporating the fix posted by Adrian Bunk in Bug #1138652 (but I'm not closing the bug again because it's already closed). I believe this might make the 0007-FIXME-etc patch unnecessary, but I'm not completely sure. So, as an intermediate step, I've modified the patch so that the test is marked as xfail (instead of disabling it). I apologize to yokota for not handling the MR they did. It looks like it tries to solve the same problem but in a more intrusive way, so I decided to apply the fix from Adrian first. Thanks.
