New description:

 I have been playing with Theme Unit Testing using WP_UnitTestCase for some
 days, And I might have find an issue here:
 http://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/tests/phpunit/includes/

 It seems a change in testcase.php (line 238) now causes a fatal error when
 you run phpunit `Fatal error: __clone method called on non-object`

 I have tested this in different situations and systems all with same
 result, This even happen with WordPress default Theme.

 I know that WP_UnitTestCase is not designed for Theme Testing but this can
 be resolved simply by using an `is_object( $hook_object )` condition.

 If anyone is wondering how Theme Testing works using WP_UnitTestCase
