I just glanced at the source and was going to suggest this; I'm glad you've already verified it works. I think the suggestion on the other thread basically boils down to changing the default SAGE_TESTDIR (in sage/local/bin/sage-env) from a subdirectory of SAGE_ROOT to a subdirectory of DOT_SAGE. I posted a one-line patch to http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6861. I don't have a system-wide install to test it, though. Can someone test/review the patch?
