What you seem to suggest is that a project higher up the stack test against the base. I think that by construct this is true bearing the change of version of the base.

Not exactly, what I'm suggesting is that a project run test against all the content of the release train installed. Some will be dependencies and are anyway necessary for test to start, some other are independent, and may interact with the project in an unexpected way.
Any project contributor takes an Eclipse, installs all Kepler bundles (EGit, Subversive, WTP, m2eclipse, GMF, XText...) with the magic "Select All" button of p2 installer, then it runs the tests against this huge platform. That's how project can notice, additionally to their acceptance tests validation product functionality, some "integration" bugs such as conflicting jobs/builders and can guarantee that it works together with the whole release train.
