This is most likely the timetz issues that showed up with the US DST
changes, which have already been fixed in commit
4a071afbd056282746a5bc9362e87f579a56402d (along with backpatches). So
if you move to the latest version of your branch, it should go away.

That's a pretty stand-alone fix so you should be able to easily
backpatch it to earlier versions if needed.

The tests included in the parallel check are defined in
src/test/regress/parallel_schedule. You should be able to remove it
from there.
