So, it is confirmed that parallel testing is not supposed to work:

"If you are talking about doing multiple `make test` in parallel,
then indeed, some tests involved writing, reading, and removing test
files from local directory,
so should multiple such operations happen randomly in parallel, there is
a high probability that it will not end well."

In that case, I say we leave the tests in.
