Alright. I could reproduce this... but it was not obvious.

A "make buildworld" with WITH_TESTS=yes from 9.3_RC3 works *just fine*.

The problem is that tinderbox is setting
MAKESYSPATH=/path/to/src/share/mk and this seems to cause the build
system to not compile and use the bmake that is in current, instead
relying on the host make (/usr/bin/make).  This is a problem because
the -current *.test.mk use the :tW modifier which is not present in
the bmake version shipped in 9.x.

So what's the bug here? Should *.test.mk stop using :tW or is
tinderbox broken because it's bypassing the build of a current bmake
(which is bound to cause problems in an older system)? I'd call the
bug is the latter because "make buildworld" works just fine...
