Yep, mistakes do happen. Gnulib has stable branches that can protect some
packages from these breakages
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Stable-Branches.html>
but AFAIU coreutils frequently needs new features from Gnulib and therefore
cannot use the stable branches.

Did you notice these failures by chance, or do you run coreutils continuous
integration on a fixed schedule?
More generally, for which systems are coreutils continuous integrations being
run regularly? For which systems would it be useful to have it?
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ references
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/coreutils-master but it seems that this
CI stopped working in 2021.
