Do you mean you need some test to make sure that a test someone wrote is actually being run?
Yes. We test that all things which look like doctests are actually tested as doctest.
If there were a quoting issue in the doctest parser that happened to be caught by...a different parser, then that was pure luck.

It would be better to write regression tests against the actual parser.
Of course, there are regression tests. Still, we cannot foresee all bugs. The whole Sage library is a very big test case: at least once, a new bug was found this way.
