I think it's some sort of stdout/stderr mixup, where

.....
-----
Ran 3541 tests in 26.049s

OK (KNOWNFAIL=3, SKIP=4)

is printed before the information about the tests, such as:

Running unit tests for numpy
NumPy version 1.6.1
NumPy is installed in
/build/buildd-python-numpy_1.6.1-6-i386-lYkcLV/python-numpy-1.6.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy
Python version 2.7.3rc1 (default, Mar 10 2012, 00:01:06) [GCC 4.6.3]
nose version 1.1.2

so it might be that only the debug flavors are affected by this problem.
