The test cases are there, and they pass. I've spent a bit of time  
investigating this, and I think I've isolated it down to a simple test  
that you might be able to look at, to figure out what's going on.

What seems to me to be happening is this: If the template for the  
overall control is missing, the radio buttons still render, but an  
error also occurs (which you see if you have the garish pink turned  
on). (I suspect this error is happening with the unit tests, but you  
don't see it because of the testing framework resetting itself between  
tests.)

I've created a super-simple test file that illustrates the problem:

http://source.fluidproject.org/svn/fluid/components/trunk/src/webapp/tests/fluid-tests/manual/renderer/radio.html

In it, the template for the overall control is commented out. Load  
this file as-is, and you should see the error message. Un-comment the  
overall control template, and the error message disappears.
