Hi Volker, thanks for this report.

Well, I'm going ahead with the release despite these errors.

I think we have seen very similar errors in other functions.
I believe the immediate cause is that simplify_sum does not
simplify its return value, so the testing code, which now detects
simplification differences, complains that the return value doesn't
match the expected result.

I haven't looked at these. We'll try to fix all the errors in
share_testsuite for the next release after 5.13.0.
