I had reached a similar conclusion, but will be taking a proper look
next week (I hope, workload is very compressed at the moment)

My initial response would be:
Mark up any expected failures that are common with BCB 5.64.
Mark up libraries that are not supported, such as graph, Python, uBlas
and Wave.
Then anything left is a regression, and should be explained or
resolved.  We can put a note in any regressions marked up in the XML.

Given there are known regressions in 5.81 that are fixed by the
compiler in 5.82, I would suggest we focus on the latter.

In fact, I would suggest Metacomm stop testing on 5.81 now, especially
if it will mean a faster testing cycle, and mark 5.82 as no-longer beta.
