Ok, modified so that it notes that it's T::H output.

Fixed.

Updated to say:
=head2 Anything else
Any output line that is not a plan, a test line or a diagnostic is
incorrect. How a harness handles the incorrect line is undefined.
Test::Harness silently ignores incorrect lines, but will become more
stringent in the future.

I agree that T::H should be more stringent, but as written right now, we
can't demand something that we don't conform to.
