I can explain the Linux-vs-Windows difference...

I debugged this bit. It's the reliance on time stamps and file sizes to
detect whether the file has been modified. The old version of the test
changes the file content from
This is the file 'alpha'.<NL>
to
alpha, modified after move
which is the same length on Unix-style operating systems, but not on
Windows. The time stamp doesn't change when running the test suite
because of the "no sleep for time stamps" optimisation. Therefore the
"svn commit" would fail to see any change, on the Linux build-bots.
The new version of the test has <NL> after the new text, which makes the
file length change on all operating systems.
(If this problem bites us again or if we can think of a good solution,
we might want to do something about it, as it was an annoying sink of
debugging time.)
