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.
