Both of the affected test scripts (t/21read_DATA.t and t/22read_DATA.t) use the same Inline build directory (.Inline) - and they therefore need to access the same configuration file.

If you think that could be the source of the problem, I could work around that by designating 2 different (separate) build directories for those 2 test scripts - thereby assuring that each script has its own copy of the configuration details.
Is that worth trying ? (If so, let me know, and I'll upload a new developer version of Inline that does exactly that and we can see how that goes.)

Cheers,
