This usually indicates some state isn't being reset (in DumpRenderTree or in WebKit) between tests for the GTK+ port. Individual test results should not rely on running previous tests. (The --random and --reverse flags on run-webkit-tests stress these conditions. I don't think anyone has tried running the tests with these flags recently, though.)
Maybe the automated regression should run with --random to be sure that dependencies between tests are shaken out. On the other hand, you really want your regression to be deterministic - maybe a second run with --random scheduled once a week or so?
