I have never seen such failure.

But if you look at the the actual error message it looks like something
very wrong is happening there. The test is supposed to write 64 bytes to
the temporary file but it looks like in your case it attempts to write
4294967295 bytes, which is around 4GB if I'm counting correctly so it's
no wonder it fails with ENOSPC.

My guess is that the test is miscompiled somehow but that is just a wild
guess.
