Is there anything about the debci autopkgtest environment (possibly a resource restriction) that might cause them to fail?
Several of our hosts have a lot of resources, see [1]. Maybe it's excess of either CPUs or RAM that cause parallelism to interfere. Although then I wouldn't expect as much failure on i386, which are reasonably sized VMs. Another idea would be that the load on these systems might be higher than when you try to test in isolation.
I assume you also test locally with lxc or incus as those are the backends we used/use on ci.d.n and most, if not all, restrictions come from used that.
