Can't reproduce this with Autoconf-2.59, sticking only AT_INIT before
your above code, running it through
  autom4te --language=autotest testsuite.at -o testsuite
manually, and making sure an executable named `foo' can be found in
$PATH.

Show testsuite.log.  Something else must be going on.

Cheers,
Ralf
