No indeed. This is apache2-mpm-prefork 2.0.52-3 from Debian testing,
not the latest version in testing either. I cannot readily upgrade
right now (apt-get says it's willing to install 2.0.53-5, but only if
I give it permission to wipe out the rest of my system first :-) , but
I'll try and recompile the .deb from its source and see if the problem
goes away.

Most likely you will have the same problem with the newer debian package.

If Debian testing turns out to have this problem, I think that the
test should at least be skipped on that distro, otherwise I probably
won't be the last one to report this :-).

No.

1) We can't skip the test just based on the fact that it's debian, since there will be other people who install a real Apache 2.0.x and not a mutant debian package, in which case it should not be skipped.

2) We can't please every distro out there. This is the same problem with distros adding future version patches to the perl-core and claiming to be what they aren't.

If you want the mod_perl test suite to pass make sure that you have an authentic, unpatched version of Apache and of Perl. Otherwise you are on your own (well, you can ask support of your distro).
