Hmm... unless something has changed recently, our OS-X buildslave uses
2.2.0, and the tests are passing just fine on it:
    http://twistedmatrix.com/buildbot/

In fact, I recall a change to that exact line recently, and sure enough,
it's different in CVS -- I think if you try 1.1.0rc2 (which I believe will
be identical to 1.1.0 final), you'll find that bug is fixed.  If not, or if
you find any other problems, please file bug reports :)
