I see added value in these tests, but can we please make this behavior optional before enabling for everybody all the time?

I don't see why every test in the testsuite needs a double dump and comparison in every testrun (on every test invocation)
(And then the patch appears to ignore the fact that we have tests that create multiple repositories)

I can't see why the coverage is better this way, than running this just in a single configuration... except by slowing developers down (and thereby reducing the number of new bugs... just by reducing their productivity)

With the same reasoning: better coverage is better, we can just as well remove the flag on which filesystem we test, and always run BDB and FSFS.
Or skip the check which RA layer, and run them all.

We separated these tests over multiple configurations for a reason, and I think this should behave the same way
