Is there a way to have the test runner use VirtualHostBase, and get urls

Or is the custom solution to write the tests as if using Zope directly,
without Apache and VirtualHostBase?
Yes, and yes. :-)
Virtual hosting is done by Zope, when it sees a "magic" URL. So you
could construct your testbrowser URLs like
http://nohost/VirtualHostBase/http/nohost:80/plone/VirtualHostRoot/<whatever>
This is exactly what a rewrite rule in Apache does. Zope would then see
this and generate its URLs (e.g. via absolute_url()) as
http://nohost/<whatever>
That said, if your code *assumes* a certain kind of virtual hosting,
it's probably broken. In general, you can never be sure about how
virtual hosting is being used. You should use things like absolute_url()
or request.physicalPathToURL() to generate URLs that adequately take
virtual hosting into account.
