Retrying the give-back will probably succeed at some point ...
because the check-gc test may fail nondeterministically.
That is even documented in the test:

  # this test sometimes crashes the GC with the well-known
  # Panic: Visit: object not in prev space at 0x40210b2c ('pair') 8199 8201 
(dumping core).

Given that, this test should not immediately fail the build process.
