This test doesn't switch L&Fs .. if it wasn't for mac defaulting to Aqua they'd all be using Metal.

So this is an accidental by-product, not the goal of the test.

And that goal be met by the test writing out the serialized objects and reading them back all at "test time", can't it ?

Seems to me right now we are stumbling over cases where what is serialized is inappropriate for persistent serialization.
