You might want to consider the difference between a test during 
development locally and a test that have been checked in to the common 
repository.

I have been confused by tests with names saying they check something 
that is not checked, making me spend time searching for problem in the 
wrong place.
On the other hand during TDD it is rather important to know that the 
test actually fails, like you and others describe. The key as I see it 
is if the test is committed or not. Mostly the tests confusing me have 
come from being interupted while they happened to be green and then 
missing that they was not compete when coming back.
