Sorry if I did not understand your problem correctly, but here goes:
in my integration test classes, in other words, the ones I really need
a injector to play, I do exactly what you said you would do with
Spring - I switch the modules while instantiating the injector.

Sometimes I don't want to rewire all of the bindings just because of
the test. In fact, I usually only "mock" the ones that depend on
external resources (like your datasource) or on not deterministic
things (clock, random number generators, etc). In this case, I use
Modules.override() to help me do that (
http://google-guice.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javadoc/com/google/inject/util/Modules.html#override(com.google.inject.Module...)
- sorry for the long link).

Hope this helps,
