alternator-test: reproduce bug in Expected with EQ of set value

Our implementation of the "EQ" operator in Expected (conditional
operation) just compares the JSON represntation of the values.
This is almost always correct, but unfortunately incorrect for
sets - where we can have two equal sets despite having a
different order.

This patch just adds an (xfailing) test for this bug.

The bug itself can be fixed in the future in one of several ways
including changing the implementation of EQ, or changing the
serialization of sets so they'll always be sorted in the same
way.
