Sorry, I don't know why is this a problem. Maybe someone could look at 
Build?

The 1.56 release date is comming and some of the tests are missing.
Are those newly added checks important?
Could it be disabled for now, to see if this is indeed the problem?
Or maybe could those requirements be checked differently?
