you look at the current trunk tests for bronf1 you can see what I mean.

Uh oh - looks like I didn't look closely enough.  The results
page shows test fail when in fact it wasn't run because of a failure
in a dependent test.  So it seems that contrary to one's first impression
it works as advertised.   I was sure I had observed a problem with this on 
my own
test setup but I'll double check.
