single test failure using Postgression

[chadwhitacre]

Reticketing from #1078. I'm getting this error when using a Postgression instance (I don't get it using a local db):

I went to see if I can reproduce this again and Postgression is down. :-/

Postgression is not down now but the test run so slowly that it is almost not usable. From the looks I expect the whole test suite will take about 30min to 1h.

I don't know how long it has run (in the morning it was done :)) but I have two failures, both related to how slow postgression is:

Okay, good enough to close this ticket. Let's pick up discussing Postgression on #1552.
