Thanks for the report!

I think something is fishy with the test set-up, although I'm not sure
what.

For example, this is the contents of guix-daemon.log:

1 + set -e
2 + guix-daemon --version
3 guix-daemon: unrecognized option '--version'
4 Try `guix-daemon --help' or `guix-daemon --usage' for more information.
5 FAIL tests/guix-daemon.sh (exit status: 64)

My guix-daemon does accept the '--version' option.

Can you say how you built Guix and give some more information about the
environment the tests ran in? For example, did you use `guix
environment`?

For the record, I also tried it on Debian testing with a 4.8.x kernel on
x86_64, and my only test failure is tests/syscalls.scm, which I'm going
to look into :)
