As mentioned on your PR, that's a known issue/regression as 
phobosinit fails to register std.encoding for individual tests:

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16291
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4493

Quite recently Steven fixed the cycle detection in druntime:

https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1602

and a fix by Steven for Phobos is already in the queue:

https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4744

For std.algorithm.sorting, it's a different issue (that's caused 
by a weird behavior in std.numeric entropy), but also known:

http://forum.dlang.org/post/nol5h2$lj$1@digitalmars.com
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4587
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16227

Once fixed, we will enable all individual tests in our CircleCi 
setup to prevent more regressions.
