This morning:

*** 42317 ERROR TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | /tests/intl/uconv/tests/test_unicode_noncharacters_gb18030.html | Error thrown during test: $("display") is null - got 0, expected 1
*** 42320 ERROR TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | /tests/intl/uconv/tests/test_unicode_noncharacters_utf8.html | Error thrown during test: $("display") is null - got 0, expected 1

Looking at the tests, it looks like they assume that 100ms will be enough time to parse the HTML between the script end and the <p id="display">.  Clearly that's false in this case for whatever reason.

That said, is there a reason the test is using setTimeout at all instead of just running the test from onload?
And while we're here, is there a reason to use:

  ok($("display").innerHTML == "All good.", "Noncharacters not stripped");

instead of:

  is($("display").innerHTML, "All good.", "Noncharacters not stripped");

?  The latter produces much more useful output (e.g. the actual value of innerHTML) when it fails.
Ftr, this build had

Looks reasonable, assuming this is still testing what you wanted to test.

Yeah, I confirmed this by introducing bugs into the converters to see if the tests failed in the expected manner.
