That was where I got confused: many issues are easy to reproduce ('test'), but need some thinking to get automated tests right. urllib always feels like this to me, except 'thinking' -> 'getting lost over and over'. Reading 'test needed' as 'automated test needed', things make a lot of sense. I have to test my patch against a good representation of the issue, regression tests must pass, 'automated test needed' fits well :)

Go with "Unit test needed" so it's short and to the point and you have a deal. =)
