The nix-copy and nix-copy-closure NixOS tests in tests/nixos seem to be flaky.

These regularly break because of garbage collection, seemingly. I'm not sure what the exact reason is but I have my suspicions it could be either a gc bug or a design flaw.

i believe that the place where the paths are vanishing too early is on the coordinator.
