gotResults is inside a thread, and you're touching the deferred. Don't.
Just do this:

class MyWeirdTester:
  def gotResults(...):
    if domain:
      return siptest_f(domain, test_opts)
    raise ValueError("you used an odd number")

  def getServerResponse(...):
    d = deferToThread(self.gotResults, ...)
    d.addCallback(self._print, ...)
    return d
