#20015 looks like an expected failure.  Oracle supports lookups of
date fields using strings by implicitly converting the string to a
date.  The test is doing a startswith lookup that is going to produce
sql that looks something like "WHERE date_column LIKE '2008%'".
That's not going to work because Oracle can't convert '2008%' into a
date.  So the test here is testing that the
'supports_date_lookup_using_string' feature is more comprehensive than
Oracle actually supports.

I'll try to make time to look at the other tickets in more depth tomorrow.
