Victor made a PR to ignore the test for now:

https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11718

This WIP PR intends to fix this bug:

I skipped the test with commit 1e39b83f24ffade3e0ca1a8004b461354f64ae08.

But the test still needs to be fixed.

Joannah Nanjekye wrote the new test and I'm mentoring her, so I would prefer that she fix the test.

Oh wait, when I looked at the test, it's way more complex to implement that what I expected! So I decided to rewrite the test myself.

I rewrote and reenabled the test. It should now be fixed in master, and the 3.8 backport is coming soon.
