I've been going through the flaky tests on linux, but I haven't reached this one yet, so unfortunately can't provide more information. It is marked flaky, but I
 haven't seen it fail lately, so it must be running pretty well on linux (it has to fail twice it a row to be considered a failure in the flaky mode).

I don't think timeouts are affecting this test (as the flaky logic does not help there), but I can certainly see how extra load might trigger some corner cases.

I'd also be in favor of keeping this test, and I am planning to re-audit all the flaky decorators on linux, time permitting.
