Both instances looked like incorrect version on the issue (a release tag instead of a branch), and both look to have since been resolved.

From http://drupal.org/project/testbot:

Why is my patch marked "postponed"?
Most of the time this is because the branch you're testing against hasn't passed tests. Follow the "branch" link on the qa.drupal.org page explaining that your patch is postponed and you'll see the status of branch testing. Usually some work is required on the branch (and tests won't succeed without new commits).

In other words, if the testing infrastructure doesn't have a clean (i.e. passed) test for the project HEAD, then it does not have a known good state to compare against ... it can't detect between a failure caused by a patch and the existing failures in the branch. In the cases you posted, the HEAD test is failed.

The earlier issues posted in this thread were due to the issue version being set to a specific tag (instead of HEAD); which gives the same result ... no known good state to compare against (since the system tests branches, not tags) ... so no value testing the patch.

I have not asked the bot to compare one test against an other. I have posted a patch in my GA queue that contains valid and brand new tests. I expect that my patch is tested BEFORE I commit it, not after the commit! We don't commit broken patches normally as I know.
