This is a shot in the dark, but you might verify that the
plugins providing the model provider are listed as
dependencies for the test plugin. My experience has shown
that the test environment only includes hard dependencies, so
if you're relying on something that has a soft link (e.g.
anything contributed through an extension point), you need to
make sure the plugin making the contribution (e.g.
implementing the extension point) is included in the
dependencies list for your test plugin. It probably works
fine in your dev env because Eclipse is using the entire set
of plugins available (i.e. target platform + workspace
plugins).

This seems to be what I (or maybe everyone) call a "behavioral"
dependency: it's not necessary in order to compile or execute code,
but it is necessary in order to have the test actually testing
what's expected.
So you should start by finding out which bundle is required for that
test to work, and then either add it as a requirement in the
MANIFEST.MF or configure tycho-surefire-plugin to add the
dependency. My preference would go for the MANIFEST.MF since it also
gives you the guarantee that this test would work with any tools
respecting OSGi.
In order to debug with tycho-surefire-plugin just add a
-DdebugPort=8000 property to your mvn command-line and then connect
to JVM on port 8000 as a Remote application in Eclipse (

(.
If you want to simulate an environment with PDE tests that looks
like the one of tycho-surefire-plugin, you should go to the Test
Configuration and configure your test by unselecting all bundles,
then selecting only your test bundle, and then clicking the "Add
Required Plugins" button that would compute a minimal runtime for
this test. You may need to add some extra stuff (such as
org.eclipse.equinox.ds)
