I politely disagree.
We use many OS-provided functions. And using a font that has a strong guarantee
to be metric-compatible with MS fonts (and which thus should provide
predictable layout results) seems reasonable. I'd say that if in this case
maintainers would not simply ignore the unit test results and silenced the
relevant tests [1], it would be noticed and acted upon earlier. Otherwise, it's
unclear why would maintainers want to run unit tests at all - they would only
need to ensure that LO simply builds (reasoning that "it's upstream's
responsibility to make tests working")? IMO, the tests had shown broken distro
support rather early, which is generally important for LO and the impression it
produces.

I forgot to mention that LO on Ubuntu 18.04 shows the same problem with any of
the package (1.7, 2.0) installed alone; so the 1.7 packaged fonts must also be
affected on Ubuntu.
