But when log_mode != LOG_MODE_DIRTY_RING, the individual sleep time is largely
meaningless, because the test won't reap the bitmaps for iterations > 0.

Failure of what?  And does the failure really not reproduce with a higher interval?

"unit" is way too vague.   Even looking at the code, it's not clear to me what
you intended a "unit" to be.  I'm not entirely opposed to providing the user with
more control over the innards of the test, but the interface needs to be somewhat
intuitive.
