I've handed this work back to gmb, since he's available for the work
and I have a all my stuff post-UDS to attend to.  FWIW, I found that
using the context manger for feature flags, rather than the fixture
Graham got from Maris, was less prone to this issue.  One test passed,
but another seemed to have the same issue.  So better, but not fixed
completely.
