Yeah, the exit handlers only clean up when the entire test goes down, not
after each failed subtest. If you want more reliability you need to run
all the subtests individually (and maybe you even need to restart the
machine if something particularly bad happens).

tbh I'm not sure whether this is worth catering for - imo better to invest
that time into getting a real android/igt testrunner going. For
development you can just run individual subtest only when hacking around,
for regression testing nothing really should fail after all ;-)
