From my outside-the-blob theorizing, some of the android drivers make no attempt internally to clean up (static/global variables) after their shutdown functions are called, making re-opening them fail in mysterious ways. (krillin is one of these troublesome devices)

OTOH, it could be something we could work around by having the tests run with just one server+platforms being brought up.

Maybe now is the time to /intentionally/ leak the graphics-android serverside driver. It would not be the first time we have forced a library to leak itself to avoid third-party bugs.
