The 2 cases I found are:
bytebuffer-2.1.0:
  bug in the package itself, wants to run hardcoded path
./node_modules/testjs/bin/testjs
  but of course this path is not available in the (extracted) tarball.
protobufjs:
  runs tests like "test1 > tests/test1.out", which will fail because
tests is not writable, so the issue _does_ come up.
