For the moment, I don't accept these in the repo (although I do welcome
them and mention them in my Waiting for Code summaries).

My thinking is that [i] the pref that forces a test when you record is
probably a good thing (you can also use --no-test) [ii] if we want to
have that test, we must make sure our own tests pass so that people
submitting patches know for sure if test failing is their doing or not.
I basically don't want to scare anybody off from submitting a patch
because 'Looks like a bad patch to me!'

Am willing to rethink this, of course.
