Okay. Thanks, Sam and Eric. It appears that in 5.1 check-expect didn't work at all (is that possible?!) so I guess that trying to look through the history to find something helpful is probably a waste of time.
And, FWIW, the commit I did below could have been the source of problems, as it changes the timing of how preferences work (especially related to saving prefs in drracket's space thread and then looking them up in the user's space) which could easily have had something to do with breaking this feature. (It is a bad idea for code to expect to trying to communicate between those two places via the filesystem, but that's no excuse for me missing this problem. Sigh.)
