And, as you yourself pointed out on the ticket, sometimes on Linux too.

I still have absolutely no clue why this happens, by the way.  If anyone else 
could be prompted to investigate I would be much obliged

As a matter of general principle, the only reason a test should ever be skipped 
within Twisted is if an optional dependency is not available.  And, just to be 
clear, the presence of "TODO'd" tests is pretty much just a bug, fix old ones 
and never add new ones :-).
