This is because CMVP doesn't test RSA key generation.  On the
RSA validation list at
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/dss/rsaval.html
you can see that only Signature Generation and Signature Verification.
Contrast that with the DSA validation list at
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/dss/dsaval.htm,
which has several more operations that can be tested.
