I think this might be a uutils issue.
test(1) is tricky to identify since it doesn't support --version.
Also the shell's builtin test(1) is usually invoked,
but since you're using sudo to exec the command,
the shell's version will not be used.

You could confirm with:

   sudo -u usuariox gnutest -w "/Datos/INFORMES 2026"; echo "$?"


If that does work, then I'd file an issue at:
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues
