That works but please note that this is not about test passing or
failing, this is about some extra steps needed in the test body to
achieve deterministic situation in which running that final check
makes sense.

I can imagine that simple

	# workaround 5348
	time.sleep(20)

and then some script which would find all these comments and compare
them to resolved tickets might be enough.
