You can mark a doctest as
sage: 2+2 # known bug
5
Then it won't get run ordinarily, but you can do "sage -t
-only-optional=bug FILE.py" to run doctests marked this way. It doesn't
quite do what you want, since the number of skipped tests is not reported.
But maybe that could be added on to the new doctesting framework being
developed at <http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12415>.
