In the test_inv_tx case, node 0 sends a transaction to node 1 and the test looks into the log for node 1 to receive the tx inventory message. But the debug log lookup does not embed the tx relaying, so it might be received and the message printed before the test starts looking at the debug log.
In the example linked the tx is received as expected since the log shows that node 1 is requesting the data from node 0, but the expected inv message has been missed.
