Just to follow up - after finding an old 2.6a0 tree I had manually
built that worked fine (so clearly it wasn't just VS 2008), I worked
my way through some 2.6 tags and this broke as of 2.6.1, so I think
the tests have been getting skipped since then.

The root problem appears to be the change (r67121 for 2.6 merged from
r67120 in trunk) that removed embedded manifests.

I'll follow up on the issue tracker.
