I have an alias in my own computer but this was a loaner.  I didn't know it 
was impossible to invoke any other way - I suppose we could read it off the 
machine and put that in the script, but maybe that's not a good idea to 
mess with the Makefile.

Yes, though again this is a loaner so very little was preinstalled.  But 
where is Sage invoking Java (as a command) during non-optional tests in the 
first place?  Running doctests shouldn't be using jmol - or do some of 
them?  I could imagine a new user being confused, anyway.
