Hm, I don't know what's going on there …
But maybe I did the test the other way around yesterday?

So, some more testing:

Chroot A: my normal sid cowbuilder chroot
Chroot B: a copy with debhelper installed and the redirect STDIN line
          in _doit() commented out

Results for the various option in override_dh_auto_test:

TERM=vt100 dh_auto_test
A: fail
B: pass

TERM=vt100 nohup dh_auto_test
A: fail
B: pass

TERM=vt100 perl Build test --verbose
A: pass
B: pass

TERM=vt100 nohup perl Build test --verbose
A: pass
B: pass

TERM=vt100 prove --blib --verbose t/*.t
A: pass
B: pass

TERM=vt100 nohup prove --blib --verbose t/*.t
A: pass
B: pass


Cheers,
