It took some time and looking at specification trying to understand what's 
going on here :)

Could we just use:

if not Path(qemu_spec.origin).is_relative_to(qemu_srctree_path):
   ... logging ...

Also, I'd move this new chunk of code to a separate function (may be even out 
of class, as the only usage of self is self._logger, which you introduce with 
this patch. Still a method would be OK too). And then, just call it from 
__init__(). Just to keep init_directories() simpler. And with this new code we 
don't init any directories to pass to further test execution, it's just a check 
for runtime environment.
