Would it be possible to set up an ignored handler in test classes? Something
like (inspired by the metaprogramming of tests in the rather good NUnit
framework on .net):

class TC_something < Test::Unit::TestCase
  ignore :test_fail

  def test_fail
    assert 2==1
  end
end

I'd send in a patch or something useful, but I'm more of an ideas man... ;)
