I suspect that this is a flaky test. It is now failing consistently on macOS since build 58, though it still passes on Ubuntu. There were no changes in the ign-transport11 branch from build 57 to build 58, and I compared the log files and did not see any significant changes in dependencies. Looking at the code for this failing test case, I see it starts a publisher and waits a few seconds, which seems like a race condition to me.

This is still a consistent issue in gz-transport-11

Fixed by #551.
