Comment(by pgj):

 It looks like the FreeBSD port of Python (`lang/python27`) differs from
 Linux in how it handles threads due to
 [http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=230031 some
 changes] in the run-time system, and this seems to be the problem here.
 So I found if I build `lang/python27` with the (non-default) `PTH` option
 enabled then it works as expected, the testsuite finishes.

 Please verify if this solves the problem for you.
