By "test module", I assume you are referring to the executable.  I
don't know why we need another term for this, but that's a different
discussion.

I'll do my testing again, but this is inconsistent with what I
observed from this example:

I agree that what you describe is how it was documented, but it wasn't
what I observed.

Look at the source code here:
<http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/boost.test/libs/test/doc/html/test/reference/test_case/boost_global_fixture.html>

When I ran those test cases, I would see some test cases printing
their output before all the global fixtures were created.  I will try
again when I get home.
