Why would it break? Is that because the test is buggy, or the kernel is buggy?

This test will be fine, but there have been several times when selftests/bpf for stable kernel releases didn't actually compile due to backported tests. This is because macros we're redefined, etc. Unless those also get picked (seems like a sisyphean task) we'll keep seeing broken selftests/bpf on stable.
