In all four cases, `file-notify--test-with-events' returned nil, where
it was supposed to show the incoming events. Strange.

In lisp/filenotify.el and test/automated/file-notify-tests.el, I've
prepared trace messages. You'll find them searching for ";;(message".
Could you, please, enable these traces and show the resulting log?

Another idea is to increase the timeouts in `file-notify--test-timeout'.

Btw (and likely you know it already), you can run just this test with

# make -C test/automated file-notify-tests

or

# rm test/automated/file-notify-tests.log
# make -C test/automated file-notify-tests.log

This might save time for your tests.
