I don't think it makes sense to put such workarounds for a fundamentally
unreliable environment in particular tests. You simply need to find
appropriate NFS mount settings on all systems involved to ensure that no
problematic caching occurs, or flush caches explicitly in
cross-test-ssh.sh (and I think it will be a lot easier if the build system
exports its filesystem to the test system, rather than both getting a
filesystem from a third system).
