Thanks. I took a peek at the mkfifo call here. It is used to make sure the daemon has started before we run the tests which depend on it. I suspect we could do something with a regular pipe, but the code would be rather tricky. Simply skipping the daemon tests is a reasonable compromise until somebody feels like trying to make it work without a fifo.
