Because TestShib apparently already recognizes a tester claiming to  
own idp.example.org there's no great way past this without using your  
own unique domain name.

The name itself isn't actually "built into" the IdP during  
installation; it's just used as a way to generate configuration files  
for you.  Reinstallation will take advantage of this facility and  
regenerate configuration files for you, but you can also search your  
configuration files for all instances of example.org and  
idp.example.org and change them to a more unique value.  Note that in  
that circumstance your autogenerated certificates(/opt/shibboleth-idp/ 
credentials) would still contain idp.example.org(Shibboleth doesn't  
care about this) and you'd want to update your local metadata at /opt/ 
shibboleth-idp/metadata/idp-metadata.xml.

I'll let Scott handle the rest of your comment,
Nate.
