I'm wondering why you want this test_cleanup at all?

Is it so that subsequent tests can succeed even if an earlier test failed
before its regular cleanup?

I don't see what this buys you. If a test case uncovers a regression, you
got to fix it - who cares how many later tests fail or not? Once you are
finished with your change, all tests will pass anyway (including their
regular cleanups).
