FWIW, I just tried this with the .sage file appended below.

With 4.7, I got what might be expected (the correct "expected/got error").

With 5.0-b3-gcc, I got a somewhat confusing message saying "Fred" wasn't 
defined.

It seems that the docstring testing worked at one point, while now, it doesn't. 
 I'm doing this on Mac OS X, 10.7.1.
