Some of the tests also fail on ppc (with similar difference between 32 and 64 arches): bug #906367.
After contacting upstream some tests have been fixed, but we have to just skip the rest of them. Changes should be in git and I'm waiting for the scratch build keeping fingers crossed: http://s390.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=929462
