Good idea, I agree. We should also add that the issue was subsequently
reported here:
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12303
Knowing the time between when the ctests help detect something and when
we would have discovered the issue from a different source (i.e., if
there were no ctest coverage) is one way to evaluate how helpful the
ctests are in an objective way. In this case, we only discovered the
issue a couple of weeks before it was reported.

Feel free to add that information to the file or I can add it tomorrow.
