Thanks for the tips Alexey. I suspected order was to blame and wrote a script to run all the LayoutTests/platform/mac/accessibility tests as tuples with the flaky test coming second. The winning combination that reproduces the flaky failure for me:
Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests --debug LayoutTests/platform/mac/accessibility/document-links.html LayoutTests/platform/mac/accessibility/search-predicate-element-count.html Odd/interesting that order matters. Still chasing down the details, thanks again.
