I didn't know that...
The current behaviour also means that prove's --merge switch hides
diagnostics:
$ cat t.t
#!perl
use Test::More tests => 1;
ok 1, "that's ok";
diag "You what??";
$ prove t.t
t.t .. 1/1 # You what??
t.t .. ok
All tests successful.

$ prove --merge t.t

One proposed solution is the TAP logging syntax, but it wasn't
discussed at the TAP summit in Oslo last year. It's status is in
limbo. http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/TAP_logging_syntax
