Details
Last week we turned on tests for Apple Silicon (OSX 11.2.3 on new Apple based hardware). We are using the simplified new test config process:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/ci-configs/index.html
As the tests are live, we are now filing bugs to help close the loop and hope to fix any issues over the next 7 weeks. As the process outlines, there are tier-3 jobs running on m-c which run these skipped tests and will expect a failure/timeout/crash- if it doesn't fail, then the job will turn orange.
Here is a log showing the failure: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=mozilla-central&tier=1%2C2%2C3&searchStr=macosx1100&revision=eac40293649628d32911c909219d514bebb8ce63&test_paths=toolkit%2Fmodules%2Fsubprocess%2Ftest%2Fxpcshell&selectedTaskRun=dmCjMsSzT7aLxeToJB2KsA.0

Changing severity to N/A because this does not affect users directly.

This is showing up in triage emails because defects can't be severity: N/A, so making this into a task for now. However...

7 weeks have passed - is this fixed now, or was there an investigation that showed what was wrong here?

This doesn't seem to include errors from test_subprocess.js, perhaps the link is wrong?

Are we sure about this? Is it possible that the test points out something that would break e.g. interaction of webextensions with external apps using subprocess, on M1 macs?

we don't have any references to this failure anymore, if you want to get a fresh log, you can edit the manifest and push to try:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/modules/subprocess/test/xpcshell/xpcshell.ini#13
remove or comment out line 13 which references apple_silicon.
and you can push to try:
./mach try fuzzy -q 'test-macosx1100 xpcshell
