Yes, this is a bug, but I am not sure where (devmon, or SNMP_Session).

As a workaround, on the devices that don't support this test, specify all the 
other tests that should be run on the device with the tests() option to the 
DEVMON tag in bb-hosts.

I will try and see if I can fix the real bug sometime (or, have detection of 
devices determine which tests to run, based on whether required OIDS are 
present).
