I'm not a fan of needing configuration changes for testing.

Is there another way to do this?

This way the test will be rarely run, and for people that enable
this test their ntpd may now emit leap seconds on wrong days.

It also make it not possible to test that the 1st day check can not
be tested.

A lot of the current NTP tests link into the library and then
call the library functions with test data.  If you do that then 
no config option needed, you can test for the lockout and that
valid dates work.
