I'm not sure how that solution is relevant to the case of abcl. The
test infrastructure
uses a custom method combination to run the tests in random order - I fail to
see how I can make that to work with a solution similar to that one.

It's not a case of a test failing. It's a case of the tests (all
tests) failing to run. They
never get a chance to pass or fail.
