you're right - I've tried to download the tarball, but am getting connection errors or incomplete 
downloads from all available SF mirrors, and apparently I was still too thick to figure out how 
to checkout a specific tag... 
After a fresh checkout of  maintenance/1.6.x all tests succeed (on OS X 10.6 x86_64). 

I've put the test issues with master on
