This is the relevant bit:

    (ert-test-failed
     ((should
       (eshell-match-output regexp))
      :form
      (eshell-match-output "Variable `ALIAS' is not settable\n")
      :value nil :explanation
      (mismatched-output
       (command "set ALIAS hello\n")
       (output "Variable ‘ALIAS’ is not settable\n")
       (regexp "Variable `ALIAS' is not settable\n"))))

It says the output has curved ‘’ quotes, but the regexp used to match 
the output uses `' quotes. I've never seen that fail locally, though I 
usually run "make -C test check-lisp-eshell". Maybe some setting (or 
other test) is messing with the way `' quotes get printed, which 
confuses the Eshell tests?
