Thank you. I see you added one for this current case too?
Personally I don't like to add failing tests, since it causes stuff like

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-buildstatus/2016-07/msg00005.html

which can mask unexpected failures.

You could either have left it commented out till this issue was fixed,
or given it ":expected-result :failed", which would prompt us to change
it when this issue is fixed.
