This results in tests that should not fail failing, and therefore different FL results.

My intepretation is that this fails because we do not include the source|test binaries in the new process's classpath. If we do, however, we get errors due to conflicting versions of the same class (instrumented and not-instrumented).

One way of possibly solving this issue is to use online instrumentation in test-runner.
