Known issue. This is due to running the testsuite in an environment where
SIGPIPE is inherited as ignored, and worked around by this patch:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=m4.git;a=commitdiff;h=2b570fc

You may want to consider changing your test environment to not ignore
SIGPIPE, however.

You may be interested in trying a recent snapshot, which has fixed several
of the issues you have reported (and at any rate, will tell us what else
needs fixing before we can release 1.6):
