cetest crashes and no helpful debugging provided

Test case
1) configure build and install Qt into a directory, using a configure like follows:

configure -platform win32-msvc2008 -xplatform wincewm60professional-msvc2008 -cetest -plugindir \qtplugins -prefix \Qt\4.6.0

2) set %QTDIR, %PATH to make use of Qt installed into \Qt\4.6.0
3) build an auto test, eg tests/auto/qstring
4) connect and cradle a device, eg using Device Manager
5) run cetest in the test directory and confirm that the application is deployed to the device ( currently cetest will fail due to an Q_ASSERT() for QList::at() )

Ideally it would be possible to have a -d option to cause qmake debugging to be printed when cetest is parsing the project file.
