I asked for a rebuild on the buildd network, which succeeded. It wasn't
the very same machine, though. The processor information says
"EdgeRouter Pro" both for the failing build and the manual build, the
3rd (good) build now is "Rhino Labs UTM8".

Looking at src/test/recovery/t/009_twophase.pl, this is testing 2PC,
and the missing row is from:
$cur_master->psql(
'postgres', "
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO t_009_tbl VALUES (13, 'issued to ${cur_master_name}');
SAVEPOINT s1;
INSERT INTO t_009_tbl VALUES (14, 'issued to ${cur_master_name}');
PREPARE TRANSACTION 'xact_009_6';
COMMIT PREPARED 'xact_009_6';");
$cur_master->teardown_node;
So it is very strange that the "13" came through, but "14" did not.
Doesn't look like a test that could be unstable, at least not in that
way.
