As best I can tell, this is an internal Django test, rather than one of mine. Since it's not an actual failure, I'm mostly curious about what it is and what triggers it (perhaps having something to do with my dev machine sqlite vs. some other DB backend?).

$ ./manage.py test --help
Usage: ./manage.py test [options] [appname ...]

Runs the test suite for the specified applications, or the entire site if no apps are specified.

Options:
-v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal output,
2=all output
...

Yup. :-)

It's -v 2 that you're looking for; look for lines containing "... skipped"; this will then be followed by the reason for the skip. For example, if you don't have markup libraries installed, the contrib.markup tests will return:

(lots of test setup noise)
...
Creating table transfield_credentials
Installing custom SQL ...
Installing indexes ...
No fixtures found.
test_docutils (django.contrib.markup.tests.Templates) ... ok
test_markdown (django.contrib.markup.tests.Templates) ... skipped 'markdown not installed'
test_no_docutils (django.contrib.markup.tests.Templates) ... skipped 'docutils is installed'
test_no_markdown (django.contrib.markup.tests.Templates) ... ok
test_no_textile (django.contrib.markup.tests.Templates) ... ok
test_textile (django.contrib.markup.tests.Templates) ... skipped 'texttile not installed'

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 6 tests in 1.234s

OK (skipped=3)
Destroying test database for alias 'default' ('test_example')...
