This is one big patch.

What's so important in disabling logging while running tests?

Bazaar records everything it does on the ~/.bzr.log file.  I guess
Glenn doesn't want the records from running the Emacs tests to bloat
his log, as those logs are not really interesting.

I don't think adding the same 7 lines to 4 functions is big,
nor something that should be split into more than one commit.

Right.
I think running tests should not interact with HOME at all,
and certainly should not write there.
(Perhaps test/Makefile should export a temporary HOME,
but tests can still be run not via the Makefile.)

Rather, it's a chance that might be hard to maintain. I can easily see 
myself adding a test or two and forgetting to use Bzr the way you want here.

So I have to wonder whether this change is really necessary, or if it 
could be made in a more fool-proof way.

Perhaps the tests could use a special proxy script for calling Bzr that 
would reside in the test directory, which disables logging somehow.
