Well, a nice thing would be for tests to be properly skipped in this situation, rather than fail or crash :) Do you think you can try to write a patch for this?

Absolutely, that's on my TODO list. First, figuring out the buildslave control process; then isolating where that crash is happening and reporting it to whomever (which, I think in a cursory look, is actually the TK folks); then figuring out how to convert no-GUI-context-possible situations into a skip.
