We already know how to stop the errors from arising by modifying the
Windows environment. In my particular case, it was sufficient to
disable Windows Search Service and the TortoiseSVN Image Overlays.
However, it would be *really* nice if the Python test suite just
worked out of the box, and you didn't have to change your normal
Windows environment.

Or were you suggesting that there is some programmatic way for the
test suite to create directories that disallow the Search Service,
etc.?
