Ben is right here. The problem is spread over all geotools/geoserver  
tests. As I started with geotools/IBM SDK  I fixed a lot of tests  
having this problem.

At the moment, there are some tests which are not easy to fix for me.  
I am not sure if the library should pass back an ordered collection or  
the test has to be fixed.

My proposal for developers working on linux would be:

Download an IBM sdk 5/6 and run a mvn clean install on geotools/geoserver.

For linux you can download and install an ibm sdk very easy. As far as  
I can remember, the code for the HashMap has changed between ibm sdk 5  
and 6, so running a build with IBM 5 and one with IBM 6 will show a  
lot of platform problems.

I invested some time in these problems, but I cannot fix platform  
problems where I am unsure, so I gave up.

My 2 cents
