That is tied to the tearDown method I'm using. It expects to see a server running so it can DROP/CREATE SCHEMA test. It appears that things are failing due to issues with the cnf file (the first failing assertion), then we see the assertion you noted. This happens because calls to innobackupex / xtrabackup fail mid-test, once the server is shutdown for restore, etc.

Not sure what is happening with the main failure. All tests were passing on my boxes. Will do some further research on this tomorrow.
