I've verified the fix in the way I suspected I'd have to, with one extra wrinkle.

1) In a trusty VM, I verified that the C test case from the gist failed. (It did).
2) I launched a xenial lxd container on the VM and built the Go test case with version 1.6.2-0ubuntu5~16.04.2 of golang-1.6-go.
3) It did not fail in the lxd container for reasons I couldn't understand but it did fail when copied out of the container on to the trusty VM (failed 563 times out of 100k)
4) I then installed golang-1.6-go version 1.6.2-0ubuntu5~16.04.3 in the container and rebuilt the Go test case with the new compiler.
5) This did not fail when run directly on the trusty VM (0 failures out of 100k runs)

So I'm confident the fix has helped.
