(I'd prefer if we talked on the BTS even if on — technically — the wrong
bug for a particular issue. Any reason why replying off-bug…?)

I'm filing them personally (and reproducing them locally before filing.)
I am only tagging them as reproducible related to a) raise the profile
of that project and b) I use the fact that they fail on the Reproducible
testing framework as a cue to build it locally... ie. Reproducible is
not primarily a QA effort, alas.

Test *output* ? Do you mean pass/fail result?  Mmm there are lots of tests
one might do; I wish there was a more general framework for testing these
things rather than piggy-backing on something that doesn't /quite/ fit.
