Yes, indeed. Digging further (and increasing my grasp of Ioke as
well!) revealed that the two tests failed because of other tests
setting cells in Ground which the subsequent tests didn't expect:

% grep -r "Ground flurg =" test
test/message_spec.ik:      Message wrap(Ground flurg = 444)
test/default_behavior_spec.ik:      `(Ground flurg = 444)

% grep -r "Ground y =" test
test/list_spec.ik:      Ground y = []
test/range_spec.ik:      Ground y = []
test/range_spec.ik:      Ground y = []
test/range_spec.ik:      Ground y = []
test/range_spec.ik:      Ground y = []
test/dict_spec.ik:      Ground y = []
test/set_spec.ik:      Ground y = []

I'm not sure if you want the tests to leave the world in a clean state
or if we could just change the used cell names. As no existing tests
do any cleanup to speak of I just change the cell names, which
resolved the issue. Fixes for each tests are commited to
git://github.com/melwin/ioke.git

I also added this to bugzilla
(http://kenai.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163) for tracking.
