When using mysql-test-run to test a different engine, for example: $ ./mysql-test-run --mysqld=--default-storage-engine=pbxt you get a lot of failures which are not actually bugs. For example wherever SHOW CREATE TABLE is used in a test, the result verifies that ENGINE=MyISAM. In my blog I mentioned this and other things that would make testing 3rd party engines easier by eliminating unnecessary differences.
