Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get one of

  Perhaps hack the testsuite to run the tests under gdb, setting a breakpoint
on abort() that causes it to dump core?  Then at least you'd be able to get a
backtrace and see some state post-mortem.

I put together a dejagnu configuration to run tests
using powerpc-gdb.  The intermittent test cases pass
consistently.  Looks like a simulator bug.

I've filed a bug report in gdb:
