maybe, this:

class TestInfo(namedtuple('TestInfo', 'name expect_dir expect_base ext')):
  def __new__(cls, test):
    """Strips test instance of hard-to-pickle stuff"""
    super(TestInfo, cls).__new__(cls, test.name, test.expect_dir,
test.expect_base, test.ext)

then gen_stage_loop can be simpler:
  ...
  if isinstance(test, Test):
    test = TestInfo(test)
  ...

Is this used?
