I'm somewhat guessing that this is because the test forces the endianness (<U3 means little endian, >U3 means big endian), would you mind testing this on my branch or just alter the test to remove the endian specifier like I've done in Komnomnomnom@441fc31

@Komnomnomnom
can u put this up in a PR - I'll merge this in

[Komnomnomnom]

Ok done :-) #4284

[jreback]

should be closed by #4284 (now in master), @yarikoptic can you confirm?
