broken tests?

I scanned through the core module tests alphabetically until profile module, where I gave up after removing the 15th comment in Polish. Filed issues for a few things listed here (based on visual review rather than breakage): http://groups.drupal.org/node/10970#comment-35697

I think a massive, massive priority has to be fixing the existing tests so they comply to some kind of standards and to fill in coverage gaps (i.e. system) alongside fixing actual failures. It's a good way to learn (at least for someone like me who likes to pick at the edges of stuff first) - and people are going to be using these as examples for the next year and onwards.

My plan with this has been to read through first and file really obvious stuff, then go through running the tests and trying to find any omissions - webchick and chx decided the best way to get more people involved in testing is to have a large > 50 backlog of issues in the queue - for stuff like this, for API level testing etc. etc.
