For future reference, see the patch James W put together to attach
oopses to tests; a similar approach would have let you gather all the
items without them showing up : we could then ratchet it down as a
form of lint without having the UI exploding in our faces.

Separately, I'm a little concerned we may spend a lot of time churning
between users to setup things now - and that that will have
performance implications for the test suite.

Lastly, and here I expose my ignorance of some subtleties in zope - I
thought security proxies only lived between view and model objects,
not between model objects?
