If I comment out the elsif:

                #elsif ($info !~ /pg_ctl/) {
                #       $@ = "initdb did not give a pg_ctl string: $info";
                #       last GETHANDLE; ## Fail - bad output
                #}

then the tests work and pass:

Just a plain "Success."? That seems odd. Is this a modified initdb? Only occurrence of 'Success' in the source code is:

initdb.c:   printf(_("\nSuccess. You can now start the database server using:\n\n"

Closing, as could not be duplicated, and some recent "initdb not found" errors have been fixed as of version 3.9.0
