Do you have more information on how to reproduce this ?
I spinned up a VM at 87bd9e602 with ./vmtest -s and then run this script:

#!/bin/sh
for i in `seq 1000`
do
  ./test_progs -t snprintf
  if [ $? -ne 0 ];
  then
    echo FAILURE
    exit 1
  fi
done

The thousand executions passed.

This is a bit concerning because your unexpected_pad_out seems to have
an extra '0' so it ends up with strlen(pad_out)=11 but
sizeof(pad_out)=10. The actual string writing is not really done by
our helper code but by the snprintf implementation (str and str_size
are only given to snprintf()) so I'd expect the truncation to work
well there. I'm a bit puzzled
