On my machine, it looks like unittest runs them in the order they’re found.  I 
have only one core, but maybe tests are run in parallel on your machine, so 
with the missing call to enable_cache, that would explain the test failures.

Antoine, I appreciate that you took time to fix this bug while I was without 
Internet and without Windows, but unfortunately I will have to backout your 
commit.  Postel’s Law doesn’t win here: It is documented that the MANIFEST 
template only accepts /-delimited paths, so I have to find a fix for the tests 
without changing the code to avoid breaking the feature freeze.  I’ll get a 
Windows VM before I do that, to avoid making the bots red again.

In the future, please feel free to add unittest.expectedFailure decorators to 
problematic tests when I’m too long to come up with a fix, so that other people 
can see when their commits add problems.
