OK. This is resolved by upgrading to the latest testtools, which has
many many fixes since the version currently available in debian/ubuntu.

Unfortunately, it requires updated unittest2 as well, and some other new
dependencies which are not yet packaged. However, I've got some initial
packaging for these, and the latest testtools, in ppa:dobey/testtools
and it is working much more reliably for me now.

Title:
  subunit file often missing attachments

Status in Autopilot:
  Triaged
Status in python-testtools package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When running my tests, very often the subunit file that is created, is
  missing images, logs, and other test data, which is vital to debugging
  issues with the tests.

  For example, I've added several self.take_screenshot() calls to help
  debug my tests during each stage of the test interacting with the UI,
  but very often, these images are missing from the resulting subunit
  file after running the tests. Often, the stderr, stdout, etc… logs
  will also be missing from the tests data, especially for tests which
  are passing.

  This makes it very time consuming to debug problems, as one must run
  the tests over and over ad nausea, until the necessary data eventually
  shows up in the subunit file.
