Subject: Re: bug#23954: 25.1.50; Unexpected failing test

It's bad to have persistently failing tests, because it can mask new failures.
(eg several xref tests started failing in
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/37558515, but there was no notification
email due to this pre-existing failure.)

So please consider applying your change to fix this.
I see it is similar to what turn-on-font-lock does, so if explicitly
turning on font-lock in this test also fixes it, that might be better.
