Can you reproduce with "xvfb-run make check"? That is how we run the
test suite on hydra and other autobuilders that don't build in an X
session.

Neither of the above, it just runs "run-octave fntests.m", so should be
running tests with the octave-gui executable.

There's only one %!test in that file. My guess is it's something unusual
about the hydra build environment. Could be something as simple as there
is no default /tmp directory. I don't know if that's true or not, but I
wouldn't be surprised if it were. And unsetting TMPDIR would make the
rest of the test fail.
