I wouldn't worry about that. If the checkin message indicates that this is testing out a certain buildbot issue, most python-checkin readers probably will skip over it quickly. If you are still worried: buildbot has a "try" feature, where developers can try out changes on the slaves before committing them. This isn't currently activated in the Python buildbot - but if you need it, we could look into it (if you are curious, just experiment with it yourself).
