I am not exactly clear on how this can be reproduced. You mention a couple different things:
1. Not creating the .ipython dir during testing. We pretty much need to create it.
2. Something about the ipy_user_conf.py file
3. Something that is going wrong with IPython is started.
From the information you give it is hard to untangle these 3 things. Can you give us more details.
Thanks!
