Is this due to a more general failure with the test harness? I saw a bunch of failing tests in the run

I don't think so. Here's a run where just that one test fails: https://buildkite.com/redpanda/redpanda/builds/18956#0184a292-96d9-4ac3-bbe6-8db8a72f44ed

Let's fix this promptly given the recent attention to this feature.
