I figured out why this is happening.  I disabled
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service qemu-binfmt-service-type
         (qemu-binfmt-configuration
          (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm" "aarch64" "i386"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and now all tests pass.

Why would this be a problem?
