Thanks for working on this!
There are few more issues that makes these tests fail on my rhel8 VM.

1. tcpdump buffers the packets. It's better to add '-l' too, so there
   will be no delays due to buffering.

2. Tests are strange. For some reason they are capturing packets on the
   transmission side. This doesn't work for AF_XDP for example, because
   tcpdump can't catch the packets on xdp xmit. So, my suggestion here is
   to start tcpdump inside the network namespace for 'p1'/'p2' interfaces
   instead of 'ovs-p1'/'ovs-p2'. Like this:

    NS_CHECK_EXEC([at_ns1], [tcpdump -l -n -xx -U -i p1 > p1.pcap &])

3. Just a note: no need to redirect stderr of a simple cat.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
