test: stdin EPIPE observation is scheduling-dependent under shard load; pin the invariant instead

A delivered answer is never reclassified as a spawn error; when the EPIPE is
observed it is reported as stdinError. Whether it is observed before the
child's exit resolves the call is not something the test can force.
