See the footnotes on those tests.

Runtime failures. Reason for failure unknown. No one has stepped forward 
with an explanation and/or patch. Feel free to contribute fixes, but they 
are too late for 1.31.0.

No, the window of opportunity has closed. They've all be failing for a long 
time, so clearly are not critical.

Those libraries handle their own testing.
