(Just brainstorming...)

You could add something to 'make check' that makes a repo, copies bzrlib
into it, and then runs that particular test.  But to be honest I'm not
sure the complication would really be justified.

You could modify and then restore the __file__ attribute, but that's
also a bit distasteful...

On the whole I think it would be ok to just take the patch, unless
someone else can think of a clean way to test it.
