I kinda suspect it might be just a coincidence that it fails during that
particular test. What likely plays a role here is a checkpoint timing
(AFAICS that's the thing removing the file).  On most systems the tests
complete before any checkpoint is triggered, hence no issue.

Maybe aggressively triggering checkpoints on the running cluter from
another session would do the trick ...
