Research direction
Start by examining the test named test_chown::test_chown_no_dereference_symlink_to_dir and the linked CI job for its OpenBSD failure details. Compare the reported behavior with uutils/coreutils issue #12546 and reproduce the intermittent failure if possible. Done means the test is reliable on the affected platform without regressing symlink handling.
