used?

I recently switched a project to the ManifestStaticFilesStorage backend
for the "permacacheable" URLs it gives to resources that may change.
However, this seems to have broken some of my Selenium tests, which use
`StaticLiveServerTestCase` for the browser resources.
Now when I try to run my tests, they fail. I get a bunch of stacktraces
that read
ValueError: The file 'images/favicon.ico' could not be found with
<django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage object at
0x1037ed290>.
Running `./manage.py collectstatic` before the tests makes the problem go
away, but this is a poor workaround (it leaves stale resources which
become confusing during development). Accessing the site works just fine
via `./manage.py runserver`, but is it expected for tests not to work in
this configuration?
