[issue10548] Error in setUp not reported as expectedFailure (unittest)

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord added the comment:

Assertions are not uncommon in setUp. setUp is for setting up common state shared between tests and I regularly want to assert that state creation / preconditions are correct. 

I've never been bitten by this issue (I rarely use expectedFailure), but it's worth noting the use case.
