The buffer was being allocated of size string length plus two. Around the string two quotes were being added, but no terminating NUL. It was then compared using g_assert_cmpstr(), resulting in fairly random assertion failures:
ERROR:tests/test-string-output-visitor.c:213:test_visitor_out_enum: assertion failed (str == str_human): ("\"value1\"" == "\"value1\"\001EEEEEEEEEEEEEE\0171") There is no g_assert_cmpnstr() counterpart, so use g_strdup_printf() for safely assembling the string in the first place.
