That's a different issue, i.e., there's no default MPM compiled into HTTPd.

No; I suggest trying with APACHE_MPM=prefork with the current state of
the 1.8.x branch, that's a more likely trigger. Unless 2.4 behaves
differently on Linux and doesn't require a lock file for prefork.

Yup, this is really a minor bug in the test suite.
