New description:

 If trial is testing the wrong code, I'd like to know that quickly. So,
 what is now test_runner.py should execute first.

 ~~Also, it might be useful for trial to print out the result of
 {{{allmydata.get_package_versions_string(show_paths=True)}}} before
 starting the tests.~~ (done in #1296, for {{{python setup.py
 trial}}}/{{{test}}} and {{{bin/tahoe --version-and-path debug trial}}})

Comment:

 I'm not sure what the proposed solution has to do with the implied
 problem.

 If Tahoe-LAFS is being developed in a virtualenv, as is common these days,
 there probably isn't really a problem now, either.

 Also, trial will run tests in whatever order you ask for on the command
 line (eg `trial allmydata.test.test_runner allmydata`, though this *will*
 probably run `test_runner` twice).
