I've reproduced this one.  The reason is that allocating a pty on AIX
requires root privileges, and the test sshd is failing with the
following:

debug1: pty_setowner: no tty group
chown(/dev/pts/2, 500, 0) failed: Not owner
debug1: do_cleanup
debug1: session_pty_cleanup2: session 0 release /dev/pts/2
Attempt to write login records by non-root user (aborting)
debug1: do_cleanup
FAIL: key option failed restrict,pty

You can run the test with SUDO=sudo (assuming you have sudo and it's
configured to allow passwordless commands).  I'll see if we can skip
these tests in that case.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
