The problem is that '--no-plugins' really isn't good enough. I've done
some testing, and while it doesn't load the tests for plugins, it still
ends up loading the plugins after a 'run_bzr' command. So you actually
have to use BZR_PLUGIN_PATH='' to truly not load plugins.

(I know, because my short-log plugin overrides log to provide my
preferred behavior, which causes lots of tests to fail.)

So just because the tests aren't showing up, doesn't mean that the
plugins aren't loading.
