It's possible.  All those lines are supposed to say "native compiled
elisp", right?

Right.  I've now actually checked what it is that triggers the test
failure, and it is indeed a new subr.el:

[larsi <at> stories ~/src/emacs/trunk]$ touch lisp/subr.el
[larsi <at> stories ~/src/emacs/trunk]$ make; make check-maybe
[...]

1 files contained unexpected results:
  lisp/help-fns-tests.log

I'll open a new bug report for that.
