This is no test case, it is a build report which also links to you tests
but those are not easily understandable.

Can you provide some minimal and isolated test case which shows the
problem?  Something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(ert-deftest test-bolp ()
  (with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*scratch*")
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (should (bolp))
    (while (not (= 1 (forward-line 1)))
      (should (bolp)))
    (while (not (= -1 (forward-line -1)))
      (should (bolp)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That succeeds interactively and also in batch-mode.

I guess the problem in your setting is that it depends on your
customization if you end up at BOL in your tests.  Do your tests also
fail in an interactive session with emacs -Q?
