As far as the output, it isn't bad. Not TAP13 will help make it better.
The problem seems to with the individual messages error/info. messages
themselves. This test has the quality of a developer unit test and the
messages could be improved for non-developer use.

I ran the test on 4.11.8-rc1+ and 4.9.35-rc1 see the same failure.
It would be difficult to bisect this since it spans multiple releases.
I am hoping Andy can give us some insight.
