Similar failures as I still experience with 5.005_03, and had with _5[6789].
Fails the following tests​:

The failure of op/filetest didn't occur with 5.005_03, but the others did.
Any pointers to how I can provide more useful debugging info for this welcomed.

This last one is a known bug (assuming you ran the test as root) and
there's already a patch for it (which unfortunately didn't make it to _60).

The other two problematic tests unfortunately don't ring any bells for me.

It's a good thought, unfortunately, it yields little fruit​:
