Obviously fixing test-remotefilelog-bgprefetch.t is a better idea altogether, but I'm not going to claim that it's easy.
For this specific test case, it's not flaky on our Buildbot instance (https://buildbot.mercurial-scm.org/builders/hg%20tests). It only happens on exotic filesystems (like inside a Docker container) and when running the tests in parallel.
Flaky tests on our buildbot instances are usually fixed quite quickly, this contrib file is more for tests that are flaky outside our buildbot setup.
