i.e see bug 28154#101
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28154#c101

But it is known already from years before to sometimes be flaky.

Of course the video test may not work - that is normal within its context: 'might not work'. Is this not its raison d'être? It mostly does, of course.
If greater wisdom deems to drop it, so be it.

An intermediate way is to have a text in the interface saying that it may fail test, despite working after reboot.
