Yes, that's a little dangerous because there are so many things that can go wrong. On the other hand, I often just run the added or changed test interactively with `ert` instead of the whole file in batch mode. (And I have many times fallen into the .elc vs .el trap of TEST_LOAD_EL!)

We should have a modern test runner in Emacs that runs tests in batch mode but displays the results interactively, points out exact failure points etc.
