The race condition can be reproduced on Linux using a lot of parallel test worker processes. For example, I reproduce it on my laptop (8 CPUs) using:
$ ./python -m test test__xxsubinterpreters -F -j30
...
0:00:26 load avg: 17.86 [ 24] test__xxsubinterpreters passed
0:00:26 load avg: 17.86 [ 25] test__xxsubinterpreters passed
0:00:26 load avg: 17.86 [ 26] test__xxsubinterpreters passed
0:00:27 load avg: 17.86 [ 27/1] test__xxsubinterpreters failed
