I imagine some recent change has made the probability of this behavior much higher than it was before; perhaps there's more pg_constraint update traffic in concurrent tests? Anyway, it's now up to "must fix" in my estimation. I'll look into the new-pg_constraint-index idea. I think someone should also take a hard look at that idea of introducing more timing variability into the parallel tests.
