I'm getting the same failures as the build machine on my local Linux, which is not running headless (I can watch the FlashPlayer popup, execute and close gracefully), so I doubt xvfb is the problem.
My build where I updated to maven-surefire-plugin:2.6 gets to Running: org.sonatype.flexmojos.test.IT0013IssuesTest.issue14() and hangs there forever with the Java process spinning out of control. It never gets to the issue11() test that usually runs next. As soon as I go back to 2.5, that test completes and I'm back to the build failures I started with. I've updated to Maven 3 final, and reverted my maven.version change in flexmojos-parent/pom.xml back to what's committed. Just to be safe, I've deleted my entire .m2/repository. I've kicked off another build to see what happens.
