Please describe the problem.
Fresh build of 8.20201129+git100-g2d84bf992-1~ndall+1 when having HOME (base system is Ubuntu) on a crippled FS leads to

This is a pure test, and the filesystem does not affect it in any way.
The test is slightly broken, in that when two paths are the same except slightly differently normalized (eg, "A" vs "A/"), it fails. Really not a great test overall, rewriting.
announced fixed in 8.20201129-109-g99ba47120 but I still see failures on Windows as of 8.20201129+git169-gaa07e68ed_x64

Please do not followup to closed bug reports with new problems.
I've fixed this problem.
