test/minitest/test_minitest_spec.rb may fail as following:
http://c5664.rubyci.org/~chkbuild/ruby-trunk/log/20130515T013301Z.log.html.gz

This is not high priority.

This should be fixed with import of 4.7.5.

Random test failure disturbs CI.
If you think such bug is low priority, this is not so low.
It is why I changed the priority.

Anyway thank you for r41553.
