Yes, that seems to be the problem:

 df -m -i /
Filesystem        1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused  Mounted
on
/dev/ufs/TESTROOT      2041 1027   850    55%   23303  1015   96%   /


So there is enough disk space to run the tests,
but not enough inodes.  I'm creating the VM with makefs.
It looks like makefs creates disk images
with lower number of inodes than newfs.
