[Pharo-dev] Pharo2.0 unti test oddity

[Dale K. Henrichs]

I'm running this test in Pharo2.0 using TestRunner. Can someone explain to me 
why this test would PASS while:

  - the debugger is not brought up
  - the description of the exception _is_ displayed in the transcript 
    
    Error reading repository properties (.filetree): 
/Users/dhenrich/Pharo2.0/Pharo2.0-portable.app/Contents/Resources/temp/repo :: 
Error: end of input expected


Here's the test method:

  testWrite
  [     
    | packageName version versionInfo |
    #('CCC') do: [ :pn | self deny: (self hasPackage: pn) ].
    packageName := 'CCC'.
    Gofer new
        disablePackageCache;
        repository: (self getTestRepository: 'issue33');
        package: packageName;
        load.
    self validateTimestamp: 'dkh 11/2/1954 16:15'.
    #('CCC')
        do: [ :pn | 
            versionInfo := (MCWorkingCopy allManagers detect: [ :wc | wc 
packageName = pn ]) ancestors first.
            version := (self getTestRepository: 'issue33') versionWithInfo: 
versionInfo.
            (self getTestRepository: 'empty') storeVersion: version ]
  ] 
    on: Error 
    do:
      [:ex | 
        self halt. 
        Transcript cr; show: ex description. 
        ex pass]

The test passes with flying colors if I run it from a workspace as well:

  MCFileTreeIssue33Test debug: #testWrite

I'd kinda like to debug this test failure:(

Using Pharo2.0-20610 from Pharo2.0-portable download (in the last day or two).
