actually this isn't as bad as I thought. things work more or less as expected, I can blocke the tests with the test-ns-hook and run them in other namespaces as expected...
the reason things ran in my repl but would not compile outside is that there were some missing test dependencies that were in scope in the pom running my repl, but not in the one running the test. lesson learned.
