Testing with a very recent hourly Minefield build [1], shouldn't the second block in the test case [2] have a green background ? Both blocks have a blue background.
The CSS validator tells me that the following is the valid part of the stylesheet:
p {
background : blue;
color : white;
}
.test2 {
background : green;
}
