I believe this should do what you want:

      def run(self):
          self.assert_has_content()
          text = '\n'.join(self.content)

          node = docutils.nodes.doctest_block(text, text)
          return [ node ]

(The class doctest_block inherits its constructor from FixedTextElement. 
  The first arg of the constructor gives the rawsource, and the second 
gives the text content.)

You should only be using nested_parse if the directive contains 
something that is formatted using rst syntax.
