If you look at what QUICK_TEST_MAIN expands to (a complete self contained main() function), there is no opportunity to register the types. The code you refer to is implemented in a plugin which (I assume) gets loaded by the internals of QUICK_TEST_MAIN. Plugins don't play well with Python - see the restrictions on using qmlscene.

I will look at how to test QML from Python in the future - but not at the moment (unless somebody has a bright idea).
