I always see it fail the same way on the 2 hosts I've run it so far.  I say
"non-deterministic" because its produced different output for you when you
initially saved the golden output for the test.

I imagine its to do with different hashing schemes across the different
versions of python, and not a real problem in the new code.

*nod* - this is what Ken's suggesting too.
