Michael Foord added the comment:

Assertions are not uncommon in setUp. setUp is for setting up common state 
shared between tests and I regularly want to assert that state creation / 
preconditions are correct. 

I've never been bitten by this issue (I rarely use expectedFailure), but it's 
worth noting the use case.
