It seems that it's now also failing on release architectures, and the
failure seems well-correlated with weston being upgraded to version 14.
The reason this particularly affected -ports is that -ports didn't have
an installable version of weston 13, so by definition all of their recent
gtk4 builds had to be with weston 14.

My current working theory is either a behaviour change in Weston 14,
or Weston 14 is crashing part way through testing and all subsequent
tests fail.
