As near as we've been able to determine, this should be a non-issue with
current versions of phablet-test-run.  As long as you're running as the
phablet user, using either 'sudo -u phablet -i' (which is what
phablet-test-run does) or 'su - phablet', then even when connected over adb
you should correctly get QT_SELECT=qt5 set in the enviroment and there
should be no need to hard-code this anywhere.

Can you try just dropping this code entirely and see if calling qmlscene
Just Works™ now?
