Not quite.  Almost.  But this different sed line does solve the output
differences.

  sed "s/: unable to record current.*/: cannot remove \`rel': Permission 
denied/"<out>o1;mv o1 out

However the test still failed.  Looking deeper I see this:

  + test -d 
/usr/local/build/coreutils/hppa-hpux11.11-gcc-coreutils/build/tests/rm/inaccessible.tmp/1226/abs1
  + fail=1
  + test -d 
/usr/local/build/coreutils/hppa-hpux11.11-gcc-coreutils/build/tests/rm/inaccessible.tmp/1226/abs2
  + fail=1

This is the test code:
  (cd no-access; chmod 0 . && rm -r $p/abs1 rel $p/abs2) 2> out && fail=1

But the $p/abs1 and $p/abs2 dirs are not removed.  The rm fails
earlier, bails out, and those directories remain unremoved.  Hmm...
