The root cause of the flakiness was that the fake client we're using doesn't support resource versions. Informers rely on these to avoid race conditions when processing the initial object list. The flaky tests were caused by this race condition. I've fixed this by having the tests check whether the informer event handlers have synced before changing objects using the client. I've also had the test pass around a pointer to the watcher rather than the whole struct.
