What worries me is that in the report, the failing test
getsAllShells(org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.SWTBotTest)
is the first one of that TestCase, thus I suspect that some other tests
executed before left the shell open (and it is not easy to understand
which one :)

For the moment I tried to add to AbstractSWTShellTest

	@After
	public void closeShell() {
		UIThreadRunnable.syncExec(display, new VoidResult() {
			public void run() {
				shell.close();
			}
		});
	}

let's see...

the strange thing is that all the computers I'm testing this use the
same OS configuration and the same window manager...

I'll keep you posted.
