Comment (by jaraco):

 Given that:

 - there's little prior art for dealing with flaky tests in Trial,
 - it's possible for deferred functionality to be present without any
 signal on the method itself,
 - any retry functionality is going to require special handling in the test
 runner,
 - the consensus is that flaky tests are acceptable,

 I'm going to shelve this effort for now.
