I have tried this and the situation is that I can reproduce your build
failure on a locally installed buster system and also in a chroot with
unstable that contains various other packages (e.g. this and that
desktop env, etc.).
However, when the build runs in a minimal chroot only containing the
packages (and their deps) as found in Build-Depends: of debian/control,
then the tests of xorg-gtest succeed.
If you really need to build this package on local systems, then we need
to find out why the build fails in over-populated-with-packages chroots
and identify a package that needs to be placed in debian/control's
Build-Conflicts: field.
I lower severity of the issue slightly, as the builds on Debian's buildd
succeed.
