Interestingly runtests is happy for me:

[13:38] andy $ runtests -v forkingtest.pl
forkingtest.......ok 1 - mytest called
ok 2 - in the child
ok 3  - in the parent
1..3
 All 3 subtests passed

Test Summary Report
-------------------
forkingtest.pl (Wstat: 0 Tests: 3 Failed: 0)
  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
Files=1, Tests=3,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 cusr +  0.02 csys =  0.05 CPU)

Want to compare versions of things? I'm assuming we're running the same
version of runtests + TAP::Parser :)
