With just that change, a batch run started in the test subdirectory of
the emacs sources symlinked from my home directory gives:

5 unexpected results:
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-constructor
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defalias-defun-el
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defgeneric-el
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defun-el-defvar-c
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-face-el

A batch run started in the non-symlinked test subdirectory gives:

5 unexpected results:
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defgeneric-el
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defun-defvar-el
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defun-el
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defvar-el
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-feature-el

Full output of the batch runs is attached.
