I figure a mock world always has limitations - but better a workable return
than an exception.

Yeap, that's where the heavy lifting is done.

I expect the answer is that the mock implementations are only mock.  In a
test case you might want the real path to be packaged in the jar verses the
root directory of where the test case is invoked from.

For example, there is a clay test case (ConfigTestCase)  that overrides the
default mock implementation of the servlet context with an anonymous class.
If you do this you have to make sure that you pass the reference to all the
other mock objects (MockExternalContext, MockFacesContext) if needed in your
test case.

One way might be to use an init parameter in the setUp method of your test
case.  Something like this: 

servletContext.addInitParameter("mode", "debug");

String mode = facesContext.getExternalContext().getInitParameter("mode");
if (mode != null)
  //debug
