CC'ing Ted.  Ted -- is this one of your new changes to Reftests? (I think we discussed this at the platform meeting last Tuesday...)

What does "cannot get them to run" mean?

Yeah, this is a regression from bug 420084. I asked Joel to file this (but apparently didn't ask him for a CC). dbaron asked me to set all the properties from nsIXULRuntime on the sandbox object for the reftest manifest loader, but clearly that falls down on XPCOMABI since it can be undefined, which throws. We could just remove that property for a quick fix, or set it in a try block, and in the catch set it to an empty string or something.
