Who's responsible is not the issue. The point is you cannot certify that an application works on any LSB system, because no such beast exists.
What I think needs to happen is they need to release a Live CD which supports the LSB and *nothing* else. Then people can install this and run their applications and be confident that it's "LSB compatable".
That's a fair bit of work though...

Take a look at the LSB Sample Implementation

Well, there is http://www.freestandards.org/impl/
The idea of packaging it as a Live CD is a good one, and might be a smaller project than starting from scratch.

It sounds like there already is an LSB live CD:
"The LSB-si can be run in one of three different modes: the chroot LSB-si, the UML LSB-si, and the bootable Knoppix LSB-si. Software for each mode can be downloaded from the LSB Download Web site."
