In the short term, probably worth marking as flaky...

This is probably triggered because reprotest randomly picks a locale to
run:
loc = random.choice(['fr_CH.UTF-8', 'es_ES', 'ru_RU.CP1251',
'kk_KZ.RK1048', 'zh_CN'])
It might be better to adjust the test to only test specific locales,
which may require adjusting the code a bit.
Testing locales entirely randomly also results in reprotest producing
inconsisent tests when using it... so it's not surprising that it's also
inconsistent in the autopkgtests.
