unittests doesn't load fixtures

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
Create a test.py in your application directory with the following content.
import unittest
from myapp.models import *

class MyappTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    fixtures = ['myfixture.yaml']

    def testFind(self):
        list = Poll.all()
        self.assertEquals(list[0].question, "What?")
2.
make sure you have a fixture suitable for your model that is called
myfixture.yaml

3.
run manage.py test myapp

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
ERROR: testFind (contacts.tests.ContactTestCase)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GAE SDK 1.1.1
Windows Vista
Python 2.5
App Enginge Helper r48
django (trunk) r8128

Please provide any additional information below.
As shown in the django testing documentation at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/testing/
in section "Understanding test output" it should also look for
"initial_data" fixtures but that doesn't work either.

I have a similar problem.  I am able to use fixtures when doing a management.py
flush, by putting them in initial_data. But when I try to load the same 
fixtures in a
django TestCase with a line like the following:

class GameTestCase(TestCase):  

    fixtures = ['initial_data']

I get the following exception after running manage.py test

DEBUG:root:Destroyed test datastore
DEBUG:root:Configured API stubs for the test datastore
