That would certainly be the ideal for a bug report.

The best way to find out what is happening when you press a key (or key
chord) in Emacs is with the `describe-key-briefly' command bound to "C-h
c". Using this in an Org-mode buffer I see that the key "r" is bound to
`org-self-insert-command'.

I suppose ERT aborts a test when the first should form fails. Many
testing frameworks have a way of defining "fixtures" which serve as test
wrappers...
Hoping to find an ERT tutorial I googled "ert tutorial emacs test" and
the first page was [1], which we should probably update to reflect the
actual test framework. The info page on ERT does look to be informative
and may specify how to ensure that "cleanup" code is run -- although in
general it may be a better idea to simply run tests in a temporary
buffer `with-temp-buffer' so no cleanup is required.
Hope this helps. Best -- Eric
