Yes, it might be related to how the surefire plugin forks the tests.  You can pass classpath elements to the forked tests, but they aren't passed directly to the jvm.  A basic jvm is created, and then a new classloader is created to load whatever things you need for the test.  

Maybe I'm wrong, but this sounds similar to a problem that Stale was having with some aop tests, when trying to use the javaagent option.  But the problem was that there isn't a way to pass the necessary classpath to the jvm.

I will take a look this week and see if I can fix this and get a patch submitted to the surefire plugin.
