tests: include error message when unable to create a FIFO

I have seen this message once or twice, but since the actual error
message was not included, I cannot definitely say what’s going on.

I think it might be a race condition where the file with the specified
tmpname() already exists, but let’s be sure before we attempt to fix it.
