I screwed up the test. It was working on a live system, but of course
there's no xenstore in the test suite, so it wasn't testing what I
thought it was. I've modified the test to specify a vncdisplay.

Apparently so. However, handling it is strictly pointless: like
vncdisplay, it's only useful for static test cases. In all other cases
we use the authoritative xenstore results...
