I was just seing this as a repetition of what we had atop.
We probably should pass these tests all the time and make sure they're
not skipped, so I was thinking about not making a special case for this
test.

What's the rationale behind the isolation of these tests? Are they
really slow to run? If so we probably should have an opt-out, rather
than an opt-in, so we can run our test suite without these tests while
developing, and run all the tests when we want to make sure everything
isn't broken.
