Unfortunately at the moment the extra (failing) tests are preventing the module from installing without FORCE, which is actually causing me more problems than the bugs themselves.

I appreciate why you have added those tests, but would it be possible for you to remove them from the production version and instead put them into a development version of the module? This will enable users who are not affected by the bugs to still install the module cleanly, while also providing visibility of development to those users who are affected.

Cheers,
