Comment (by jnylen0):

 [attachment:39264.9.diff] should be a workable approach for the first
 issue:

 - Set a lot more properties on our test objects - things like title,
 content, and excerpt - to ensure that they won't change between test runs.
 - Remove meta keys added by another test file.  This was causing several
 properties to show up in the `meta` field of posts during full test suite
 runs, but not during runs of just the `WP_Test_REST_Schema_Initialization`
 class.
 - For any properties that can't be easily controlled (object IDs and
 derivatives like `link`), look through the fixtures array and replace them
 with a set of fixed values (`self::$fixture_replacements` in the patch).

 Also generate the fixture file with `JSON_PRETTY_PRINT` so that future
 diffs are easier to follow.  I didn't include the diff of the fixture file
 here because it is huge.

 Next I'll provide some details about how I created the
 `self::$fixture_replacements` array.
