On further investigation (aka reading up to chapter 24) it's apparent that this state-based testing is effectively a flexible form of message expectation ordering. What's clever is that it gives an intermediate level between no ordering and sequential ordering. It's like ordering "sets" of expectations, at least that's how it appears to me at first glance. Worth more investigation, I think...
