The cases where they would fail are either false positives or RC bugs.
Janitor merge requests to silence the failures for all actual RC bugs
would not make sense.
The immediate benefit of such a test would be a review of all failing
cases and filing of RC bugs (which might be > 200) for all that look
like bugs.
After the MBF it should be clear how many RC bugs actually exist
in practice.
