It's because the option is stored in the conftest module imported from
the *copied* file, but then the test itself does "from pypy import
conftest", which gets a new copy of the module, this time from the
*original* file and with all options set to their defaults.

A way to get this right is to create your own conftest.py that imports
the one from PyPy, instead of copying it:

    from pypy.conftest import *


A bientot,
