No, I think it's not a bug in the test, but rather in the mempool.
Unfortunately, I think the concept of the "default" driver for mempools
seems to exist only when using the mbuf library to create mempools. Even
then, the default mempool is different from what the first entry in the
list is. That's the fundamental issue here, we are using the zero-eth entry
in the ops list, rather than a default one.
