For CorrugatedIron's integration tests, we frequently use a GUID as part of the bucket name and then destroy the bucket after tests finish. Since I'm frequently moving between different Riak builds, I destroy my data directories at the filesystem level on a regular basis.
Your idea of using cron jobs to delete yesterday's buckets doesn't sound like a bad idea. Yes, listing buckets is bad in production. No, this isn't production.
