This is with datalad-1.1.0. Locally (on -next v1.5, also with datalad 1.1.0) I do not see this.

I opened PR datalad #7628 which should fix the problem.

The faulty code (which has resided in test_wtf for 2 years) is only triggered if psutil is installed (depending on the datalad-version the error is triggered by different versions of psutil).

Just to keep a record somewhere, the mentioned PR didn't land in core, but datalad/datalad#7622 did, which disables the wtf tests whenever psutil is version 6.0.0 or higher (as it stopped reporting on maxpath from this version onward).

#751 has been merged, too. I'm closing this.
