Yes, you are correct; I fixed this earlier this week in !1789.

Hmm, it looks like it timed out in the ghci way. I would guess that the
interpreter is simply too slow. Looking back at the test tracking
database it seems this failure has only occurred twice since we started
tracking.

I have opened #17253 to track this and will mark the way as fragile.
