lpx_integer has no provision for restart.
As I see it, you have three choices:

1. Find a sufficient surrogate for your test.  Live with the false positives.
Absent information about your test,
we have no hint whether this would be practical.
2. Use IOS.
IOS has hooks for lots of things.
Absent documentation, this might be difficult.
3. Edit the source to include your test.
If a surrogate cannot be found, this might be the easiest.
