I've just tested with a recent checkout of master, still the same
error. Interestingly, exactly the same two tests which fail on FreeBSD,
carry the line

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  :expected-result (if (getenv "EMACS_HYDRA_CI") :failed :passed) ; fixme
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So it isn't FreeBSD specific, but something which fails in an "alien"
environment. I've tried shortly to debug one of the test cases, hoping
it is a triviality which fails, but I've entered soon the jungle of epg
code. So I gave up.

Best regards, Michael.
