These lifecycle tests are all somewhat dodgy I suspect.

The problem is that the worker threads only exit once the Worker object itself
is GC'd, and the worker object will not be GC'd if there's something on the
stack that looks like a reference to it. I've seen odd errors in the past due
to this (objects not getting GC'd even though there are no references). It's
probably reasonable to just leave these disabled since there's no ironclad way
for JS code to force something to get garbage collected.
