Errors testing on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.4

I built git on a mac osx laptop and got some errors when testing.
I ran ./ci/run-build-and-tests.sh and three of the tests had failures
that appear to be associated with character encoding:
...
    BUILTIN git-whatchanged
    SUBDIR git-gui
    SUBDIR gitk-git
    SUBDIR templates

And here is one of the errors from t0204:

$ cat t0204-gettext-reencode-sanity.out Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/wink/prgs/git/git/t/trash directory.t0204-gettext-reencode-sanity/.git/ # lib-gettext: Found 'is_IS.UTF-8' as an is_IS UTF-8 locale # lib-gettext: Found 'is_IS.ISO8859-1' as an is_IS ISO-8859-1 locale ... ++ eval_ret=0 ++ : ok 7 - gettext.c: git init UTF-8 -> UTF-8

#

Of course on travis-ci there are no failures so I dug deeper and found that travis-ci is running 10.12.6 (I added a call to system_profier in ci/run-build-and-tests.sh) where as I'm running is 10.13.4:

+system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType
Software:
    System Software Overview:
      System Version: macOS 10.12.6 (16G29)
      Kernel Version: Darwin 16.7.0

      Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
      System Integrity Protection: Enabled
      Time since boot: 5 minutes

Not sure, but maybe I've got something configured incorrectly.

Suggestions anyone?
