Would you like to try tracing the linear algebra calculations
themselves (together with their arguments) instead of trying to trace
their results? I think it should be possible using the 'mockery'
package or even by hand (after a lot of effort) using base::trace().

Try measuring the test coverage of your package before and after
removing the extraneous tests (the 'covr' package should the job).
Perhaps you may see a cheap way to increase the coverage. Offer the
increased coverage as an additional argument when resubmitting. After
all, tests are code and thus may also contain bugs, and sometimes it's
the right choice to remove the buggy code.
