Pod::Simple sometimes broken?

I'm getting a lot of podlators failure reports like this one:
podlators-2.2.2:
- sun4-solaris / 5.10.0:
- FAIL http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/3249940
The failing test is a test that requires Pod::Simple be fixed and is
skipped with too-old versions of Pod::Simple, but according to the build
reports, the version of Pod::Simple should be sufficient.
The test is for the rendering of S<> containing only whitespace. The POD
is:
=head1 Test of SE<lt>E<gt>
This is some S< > whitespace.
and the expected output is:
Test of S<>
This is some whitespace.
This test always succeeds for me. I don't understand why it fails for
some people. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here?
