IMO, you should usually test only stable interfaces.

If you have no stable interface all the way into the UI, then you shouldn't test anything all the way into the UI, and focus your tests there. Odds are that your code isn't very good, because it is rare that you don't need anything stable all the way through, but well, "rare" is not the same as "impossible".
