Yes, I've just reproduced it on an aarch64 device as follows:
echo "autovacuum_naptime = 1
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 1
autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 1
" > ~/temp.config
TEMP_CONFIG=~/temp.config TESTS="$(printf 'partition_split %.0s' `seq 100`)" make -s check-tests
...
ok 80        - partition_split                           749 ms
not ok 81    - partition_split                           728 ms
ok 82        - partition_split                           732 ms
