Why does development.log get message from testing?

Does anyone else find it a bit annoying that the development.log gets the output from running tests that prepares the database? I was hoping that this would be addressed in Rails 1.2, but it still happens.

I know the bulk of the logger output goes into test.log, but every so often I see things like:

   SQL (0.028947) DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `project_test`    SQL (0.000711) CREATE DATABASE `project_test`    SQL (0.019973) SET foreign_key_checks = 0    SQL (0.002973) CREATE TABLE `products` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, ...

in my development.log and have a second of panic that development data is gone ("DROP DATABASE" sticks out like crazy!).

I have a feeling that the fix would be somewhere around rails-1.2.1/lib/tasks/databases.rake line 37 for db:structure:dump, but I'd really like to understand where RAILS_ENV is set when you just run `rake` to perform tests.

All the messages get logged to test.log if you run `env RAILS_ENV=test rake` rather than just `rake`.

Is it just a matter of forcing RAILS_ENV=test earlier in the initialization process somewhere?
