Have you looked, as I suggested, in a Squeak 4.2 image? You'll find Tests-VM, Tests-Finalization, Tests-ObjectsAsMethods

In Pharo there is:

Tests-VM

BecomeTest

IslandVMTweaksTestCase

Tests-Finalization

ObjectFinalizerTest

Tests-ObjectsAsMethods

TestObjectsAsMethods

.. and they are run every day at least once (in 1.2, 1.3 and before 1.2 was stable even 1.1) since a couple of months.

e.g.
