The problem with the tests were actually because of the IDE (Intellij). Running 
the tests with ant directly works just fine. Just thought I would have this 
registered for the record.

Issue opened: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6582.
@rcmuir, that change on the test is actually a leftover from one of my previous 
solutions while exploring the problem. It is no longer necessary and I removed 
it from the patch added to the issue above.
To explain a little, in an earlier solution, the current inputs were always the 
first tokens on the output, even if there were longer synonyms (in number of 
terms). That created an inconsistency between position increments and position 
lengths, as I wasn't sure I could have a position increment grater than 1. So I 
changed it to have the first tokens, the ones that actually increment the 
positions, come from the longer synonym. In this way, the token stream has the 
same behavior as before: whenever the position increment is 1, the position 
length is also 1. But that means that, when keepOriginal = true and there are 
synonyms with more terms than the input, the original input (tokens with 
type="word") will come, on the output stream,  "stacked" on top of synonym 
tokens. This seemed to me less likely to impact elsewhere.
Glad to hear you also deem that code complicated. I was assuming it was hard to 
me because I'm a beginner on the code base ;-)
About the failing tests, in my setup, they are flaky. Sometimes passing 
sometimes failing, and not always the same. But always complaining of missing 
postings formats (last time it was 'FST50'). I'll look around a little more to 
see if I can figure out what's wrong.
