There seems to be a conflict between StringOverrides and SimpleTest, especially when strings used in forms (like 'Log in') are overridden. Issue is described in #1139298: Static $custom_strings in t() breaks forms in tests. The issue is probably mostly on the SimpleTest side, but I want to bring it to your attention and record it in the queue in case others run into it.

Until that bug is fixed, and it might be core to D6, the workaround is to disable StringOverrides and set $conf in code.
