Not really an answer, but just wondering - isn't there any way to "reverse" the call to Mockit.redefineMethods?
If no such explicit method exists, shouldn't executing it again in the following fashion do the trick?

Mockit.redefineMethods(ClassWithStaticInit.class, ClassWithStaticInit.class);

If such a method exists, you could execute it in the class' @AfterClass method, and test ClassWithStaticInitTest with the "original" static initializer block, as if nothing has changed, from the same JVM.

This is just a hunch though, so I may be missing something.
