Thanks Nathan.

720 - I've fixed this one ... it is related to the code changes 
described below for 823.
823 - this is hiding a side-effect of the anon registration changes that 
I want to change ... there is no need for the pmcd roundtrip to check 
(and fail as expected) the name lookup of the anonymous metrics.
I have a code change for this and 823 passes now for me.

956 - I have a lot of trouble with this one, I cannot make it stable ... 
but the code change described for 823 reverts the pass/failure signature 
what I've been seeing on and off for weeks (at least) now.
I have commits ready to go and tested with check -g pmns -g derive ... 
just want a couple of full QA runs to make sure there is no other fallout.
