It would probably help to know what commit you're building.
The verbose test output would also be useful, e.g.:

    cd t && ./t0021-conversion.sh -v -i

If it's not reliably reproducible, the --stress* options
might help catch a failing run.

FWIW, I just built and ran the tests on a Fedora 29
container for master, next, and pu a few times (some with
various --stress options) without any test failures.

I did this with and without a config.mak from the fedora git
packages.  I've never used the configure script, it seems
like unnecessary overhead.

    $ git branch -v
      master 6e0cc67761 Start 2.22 cycle
      next   541d9dca55 Merge branch 'yb/utf-16le-bom-spellfix' into next
    * pu     7eadd8ba98 Merge branch 'js/remote-curl-i18n' into pu
