I'm not sure what it is testing, either; CC'ing Phillip, whose fingerprints are on it, according the 'svn blame', for clarification.
These tests have "always" failed, and Phillip doesn't know why. Because they were failing, he changed them to run at level 2. That's not what level 2 is for, though, and the failures became "visible" to everyone when the buildbot was changed to pass `--all` to test.py (--all runs tests at all levels, level 2 among them ;-)).
Yes, mea culpa.
I opened a Collector issue on this about a month ago (I always run with `--all`, so these failures are old news to me):
Rereading that issue again, it's totally surprising to see that there's no failure on Windows, which makes its source even harder to debug. I wouldn't know where to start (having tried to debug this problem in the past). Anyone got an idea?
