No. You have to understand that the optional doctests are "declarative". You can run "sage -t --optional=a_package" even if you don't have "a_package" installed. Similarly, you are not forced to mention all packages that are installed. For a doctest such like yours to work, we would need something like "sage -t --optional=<I_swear_that_I_dont_have_X>" or something. The "new" behaviour of automatically testing all optional packages when you don't specify any is merely "a shortcut".
