On the box where the test fails:

hoggar% ls /dev/pty*
/dev/ptyp0  /dev/ptyp3  /dev/ptyp6  /dev/ptyp9  /dev/ptypc  /dev/ptypf
/dev/ptyp1  /dev/ptyp4  /dev/ptyp7  /dev/ptypa  /dev/ptypd
/dev/ptyp2  /dev/ptyp5  /dev/ptyp8  /dev/ptypb  /dev/ptype

It also has /dev/ptmx. The box where the tests pass uses devfs; it has
all the pty's from a0 to zf, they're symlinks to /dev/pty/m*, and no ptmx.

Is this a problem with the configuration?
