All of this is intended, because we now report "metadata" about the
test run in the '*.trs' file rather than in the '*.log' file.  So,
to know whether a test run has been successful, or which the results
of the individual subtests has been, you should look at that file
(it should be easily human readable as well as machine parseable,
although its format is still experimental and likely to change in
future Automake versions).

All of this should be explained in detail in the manual.  If you
fund something unclear there, feel free to open a new bug report.

Regards,
  Stefano
