It fails because ThisOSProcess class>>shutDown: includes "OSProcess accessor breakDependents", but OSProcess accessor returns nil because none of the platform packages are loaded by the 'Tests' group of ConfigurationOfOSProcess.
You can load 'Tests' and 'All OS' via "--groups='All OS',Tests" with the slice for "Issue 7662: [ENH]: ConfigurationCommandLineHandler: Accept multiple group names"
Going forward, I'm not sure whether Tests should depend on the OS packages. You may want to load just the current OS, for example. I think probably a good error message and maybe a retry to find a suitable OS class if the accessor is nil...
