Apologies, forgot about this. To resolve this I created a TestApplication residing along side the tests. Then I modified our TestRunner (which extends the RobolectricTestRunner) to:

public class TestRunner extends RobolectricTestRunner {

    public TestRunner(final Class testClass) throws InitializationError {
        super(testClass);
    }

    ...

    @Override
    protected Class getTestLifecycleClass() {
        return MyTestLifecycle.class;
    }

    public static class MyTestLifecycle extends DefaultTestLifecycle {
        @Override
        public Application createApplication(final Method method, final AndroidManifest appManifest) {
            // run tests under our TestApplication
            return new TestApplication();
        }
    }

    ...

}
