The tests/vm scripts cache the downloaded image. So my setup
presumably has the old image cached and is continuing to use it.
This is good for speed and avoiding lots of downloads, but it
looks like it's had the unfortunate side effect that nobody
noticed the breakage because everybody doing tests already
had the old image in their local cache and wasn't using the
broken new image :-(
