Heh. Actually the junit-xml plugin has a similar issue. The current 
'fix' for that (not in my repository) is that including stdout / stderr 
in junit output is only supported if buffering is on and then the plugin 
uses the (private) buffer attributes on the result. So not really good...

For logging capture, does the new reporting API not make it easy to 
attach extra information to test failure reports?

Maybe it would be helpful to talk on IRC about it sometime.
