I think there should be some minimal trust in the means which tests use, resources creation included into it. It would be a good starting point at least for now.
I agree, and even more - when we test some API we assume that the rest of API works fine. So if the method-not-under-test is used to create the resource it is OK to do it in the setUp() method. Thanks, Vladimir
