Is it possible to somehow test the implementation of a language grammar?

yes it is possible. Allan released a tool to unit-test TextMate grammars here: http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2010-May/030881.html

Something besides manually visually looking at code parsed by the language grammar.

What I would like to is to ensure that a given piece of code is correctly recognized/parsed and gets the correct scope.

In theory it doesn't sound that difficult. If one could say, for this line and this column I expect the scope to be something.
