It may be possible that OSX has some low resource limits, for user processes (266 per user I think) doing a 

    sudo sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2048
    sudo sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid=1024
    sudo echo \"limit maxfiles 1024 unlimited\" >> /etc/launchd.conf
    sudo echo \"limit maxproc 1024 2048\" >> /etc/launchd.conf

seems to change the behaviour of the tests abit...

the number of failures vary as I change the values of the maxprocs, I think I  have narrowed it down to OSX just being stupid with limits thus causing the tests to fail.
