Not inherently surprising nor necessarily indicative of a problem in the test suite.  Some of the things that the test suite tests are not supported with virtualenv (specifically, the tests for using a system Python).  That said, the underlying recipe functionality should work, so the answer to the next question is...

...no.

I may get a chance to investigate this over the next few weeks, but I'm afraid I can't promise anything.

I think I registered the project so I could make a branch of it in Launchpad.  I'm neither the author nor the maintainer of the package.  I'm happy to transfer the Launchpad project to whomever makes sense.
