It occurs to me that we should try to clear the "unexpected pass" cells by
either confirming that we've worked around the problems that were
causing failures or fixing the test so it actually tests something.
Obviously these are lower priority than failure cells would be, but if
something is passing unexpectedly, we ought to know why.
