[Pacemaker] How to stop a failed resource?

OK, so I've been messing around trying to write an OCF RA, and at
various stages it was broken in assorted ways, getting my system into
something of a state. I have succeeded in stopping and deleting all the
resources created during this experimentation apart from one.

I've now got a resource called TestResource42 which I don't seem to be
able to get rid of - all the documentation I can find suggests doing

   crm resource stop TestResource42
   crm configure delete TestResource42

but that fails because "resource TestResource42 is running, can't delete
it" ... crm resource list seems to show it as both Started and FAILED,
with no obvious way of ever getting rid of it. (Looking at the log shows
that the RA isn't called to attempt the stop, and in fact isn't called
at all during this entire sequence; monitor isn't called either.)
