In case someone else hits this fascinating problem. This is what I had to
do in the end ...
---
- name: FAILER!
command: /bin/false
register: result
with_items:
- one
- two
ignore_errors: True
- name: Error checker
fail:
msg: "FAILER! FAILED!"
when: result.failed is defined and (ignore_replication_errors is not
defined or (ignore_replication_errors is defined and not
ignore_replication_errors|bool))
