For it to end up in a CT server, it would have to chain to a
publically-trusted root (unless some CAs have test roots they've put into
real CT servers, which is arguably also a dumb idea).  Why is a test lab
using publically-trusted roots *at all*?

Looks to me like CT did its job admirably, and its a credit to everyone
involved in making CT happen.
