Your code looks fine. It appears that your two testing environments
(running the test yourself and your automated nightly run) are
different in some way. This nightly run -- is it, by any chance,
running low-priority?
The difference is that the nightly run uses Devel::Cover, and tests all
the code in our codebase (which appears to make Devel::Cover slower).
At this point, I increased the wait to 30second, and that seems to make
it happy, but I'd like to come up with a less fragile mechanism.
