inline void
CrashIfNotInAutomation()
{
    MOZ_RELEASE_ASSERT(IsInAutomation());
}

http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/js/xpconnect/src/xpcpublic.h#656

inline bool
IsInAutomation()
{
    const char* prefName =
      "security.turn_off_all_security_so_that_viruses_can_take_over_this_computer";
    return mozilla::Preferences::GetBool(prefName) &&
        AreNonLocalConnectionsDisabled();
}

This will be false if the pref isn't set or if we don't have non local connections disabled.

security.turn_off_all_security_so_that_viruses_can_take_over_this_computer is set at http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/profiles/prefs_general.js#145

http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/js/xpconnect/src/xpcpublic.h#640
inline bool
AreNonLocalConnectionsDisabled()
{
    static int disabledForTest = -1;
    if (disabledForTest == -1) {
        char *s = getenv("MOZ_DISABLE_NONLOCAL_CONNECTIONS");
        if (s) {
            disabledForTest = *s != '0';
        } else {
            disabledForTest = 0;
        }
    }
    return disabledForTest;
}

It seems more likely that the prefs haven't been pushed to the device and that the environment variable has been set.

My assumption would be this is an intermittent failure to push the profile to the device.
