These specific stream tests are odd, in the sense that they live in a test root that is TestNG and they are only "imported" into jtreg. The toplevel TEST.properties file gets only once chance to set the correct parameters, for all tests. I've tried adding more local flags, nearer to the test, w/o success. I'm obviously happy to do it another way.

I have tried adding a jtreg header in that test, but that doesn't fix the problem - because _all_ the tests are passed to testng at once, which compiles them and runs them. So either the flag is present when that happens, or it is ignored.
