In order to avoid that, a usually suggest to enable USE=test in
make.conf so that it's enabled regardless of the FEATURES=test state.

BTW, in the latest 2.2_rc releases there's support for
/etc/portage/package.env which can be used to enable or disable
FEATURES=test for specific packages. The package.env support will
also be included in portage-2.1.9 which I plan to release sometime
this week.
