This actually happened on the armel buildd ALL6500 with 5.0.10-9.1:

 http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=perl;ver=5.10.0-9.1;arch=armel;stamp=1210164842

 lib/Module/Build/t/tilde......................................#   Failed test at ../lib/Module/Build/t/tilde.t line 49.
 #          got: '/nonexistent'
 #     expected: '/home/buildd'

5.0.10-9 built OK on arcadelt. Cc'ing the armel buildd maintainers; I
suppose the setup on ALL6500 should be changed.

Cheers,
