Comment (by catalyst):

 I think you're right that there are environmental dependencies for those
 issues, but I think they're not uncommon ones.  I think to make this
 reproduce the observed failures, we would have to make sure there isn't a
 system tor binary installed in the Jenkins environment that runs this
 test.

 As I recall, the issues in #22301 depended on both the lack of a tor
 binary in the default PATH and running `make test-stem` in the tor source
 tree (instead of running `run_tests.py` in the stem source tree).  This is
 not an unusual combination, especially for a (possibly new) developer who
 has no reason to install a system tor.  (Note at least 3 developers
 independently experienced those bugs while attempting to follow the
 guidelines in `CodingStandards.md`.)

 Now that I think about it more, it's also useful to make sure that the
 stem tests don't unintentionally run the system tor (thereby producing
 invalid or misleading results).
