Hmmm ... I seem to have no problems with TESTOPTS="--runner=fox".  For
example, given a Rakefile:

  task :default do
    puts "Options: [#{ENV['TESTOPTS']}]"
  end

The following command seems to work fine:

  C:\weirich\pgm\rake>rake TESTOPTS="--runner=fox"
  (in C:/weirich/pgm/rake)
  Options: [--runner=fox]

This was on a windows XP box.  My linux box behaves in the same way.

What platform were you on where you had trouble.
