The test is flaky on my machine as well.
Obviously this is related to my change, so please do not merge.
cPickle.load() does not properly handle EINTR. This is fixed in another
patch "worker: prevent cPickle from directly interacting with C FILEs"
that I sent to the mailing list. The reading side of the worker logic
suppressed the error if cPickle raised IOError with EINTR (fixed by
patch "worker: do not suppress EINTR"). In the failing test, this caused
the stream to be in the middle of some pickled data when reading from
the stream later, resulting in nonsense.
Writing to the stream in smaller pieces made it more likely that reading
from the other end of the pipe errored with EINTR. If this patch is put
on top of "worker: prevent cPickle from directly interacting with C
FILEs", it works.

worker: avoid potential partial write of pickled data
Previously, the code wrote the pickled data using os.write(). However,
os.write() can write less bytes than passed to it. To trigger the
problem, the
pickled data had to be larger than 2147479552 bytes on my system.
Instead, open a file object and pass it to pickle.dump(). This also
has the
advantage that it doesn’t buffer the whole pickled data in memory.
Note that the opened file must be buffered because pickle doesn’t support
unbuffered streams because unbuffered streams’ write() method might
write less
bytes than passed to it (like os.write()) but pickle.dump() relies on
that all
bytes are written (see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93050).
The side effect of using a file object and a with statement is that
wfd is
explicitly closed now while it seems like before it was implicitly
closed by
process exit.
