Tests will test what they've been written to test :). So unless you have 
a test that executes configure.zcml and makes assertions about it, it 
will indeed not matter what you put in configure.zcml or if you have 
configure.zcml at all.

Typically we use functional tests to assert any kind of ZCML 
configuration. In the case of grokcore.component, this would probably be 
overkill.
