Ah, that's certainly explains the failure.
The test suite can be run as root, but, given that nginx switches
to a non-privileged user by default (https://nginx.org/r/user),
and temporary directory is only readable by the owner, running
test suite as root requires some additional tuning for most of the
tests to work, e.g.:
# TEST_NGINX_GLOBALS="user root wheel;" prove ssi_waited.t
The fact that the test suite by default is expected to be run
under a normal user is already in the README, though may be in
somewhat obscure form: note the "$ " prompt in the usage example.
