Research direction

Start by reproducing the test failure on macOS with OpenJDK 11.0.2 and compare it with the Linux build, focusing on the reported “Java Debug Server for Visual Studio Code :: Debugger Core FAILURE” and the 43 errors. Done means the cause is identified and the failing tests pass on macOS without regressing Linux.
