Bug Description
The subunit output formatter that was added recently currently raises NotImplementedError when it's given a generic "error". The error() method on formatters is used to communicate user error (e.g. when the user selects incompatible options), internal framework errors (afaict, only when there's a subprocess read error) and layer setUp errors.
Masking layer setUp errors is pretty bad. The subunit output formatter should report them somehow.

I'm afraid I don't grok the code being patched at all -- I will let the guy who checked in the original subunit support for you merge your fix.
