Without having tried (yet)... why not have an aspect on an aspect,
i.e., an around advice on execution of an aspect that just sets a flag
(or grabs the thisJoinPoint information) before proceeding and the
tests tearDown checks whether the flag is set (or the
whatJoinPointsWereMet string / container)?

For some I do... and especially for beginners these aspect tests may be
useful to make sure all pointcuts still work as exepected after
refactoring.
