[development] Error running SimpleTest on new installation

[Dave Reid]

That SimpleTest error happens when the first test fails. Since the test 
didn't complete, it's test_id does not get saved. If more than one tests 
pass, a valid test_id is saved. I have an issue report for this bug at 
http://drupal.org/node/325824*.

> That particular error is usually caused by a bug in one of the unit tests you ran causing simpletest to hiccup.  I've seen it a couple of times, and it's sometimes sporadic, unfortunately.  It could be a bug in simpletest itself.  I've not ruled that out yet.

If you can establish a pattern (a particular test, more than X tests, some particular phase of the moon, etc.) then file a bug report for the appropriate module (which could be simpletest itself).  If you need more help narrowing it down, stop by #Drupal on IRC.  Simpletest is high in the mind of most core devs of late, so there's a good chance you'll find someone who can give you more detailed help tracking down the problem.
