Apparently, the tests make assumptions about the contents (and existence) of $HOME?

Quite accidentally I probably just fixed this on master. I'll make a
release sooner rather than later to confirm this

Very cool, thank you!

I just pushed 0.13.0. However, I now realize that the test suite may instead depend on different files in the HOME directory at this point. Please let me know what the results of your next testing are (presumably after LTS-5 is released).
