Description
test_timers and test_channel tests occasionally fail in Travis. #782 turned them off in MacVim to avoid them breaking CI, but that's a temporary solution. Investigate why and fix it.
Edit: There are more tests that are broken and manually disabled in MacVim now. Need to go through them too.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failures in test_timers and test_channel under Travis, then read issue #782 to understand how MacVim disabled them. Review the other tests manually disabled in MacVim as well. Done means the affected tests no longer flake in CI and the temporary disablements are addressed.
