And here comes the resolution of the puzzle.
Remember when I claimed there are no special flags set in the first mail?
Except one flag that is actually true. ;)

I did have a special flag set, which is
CC = /usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/gcc
which is using the latest snapshot of the gcc compiler
gcc (Ubuntu 20140405-0ubuntu1) 4.9.0 20140405
(experimental) [trunk revision 209146]
instead of the standard install
gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2 on my machine

Using the standard compiler git build ands tests t5570,8 just
fine in various versions.

If I take the latest snapshot of gcc, I have a flakey behavior
in Git versions ranging from current origin/master back to v2.0.0
(did not test further)

Could somebody try to reproduce the failing test using the latest gcc
snapshot compiler?
