That's because the summary report has no way of knowing that the last known 
good release has been using a different configuration, as it only looks at 
the toolset name - AFAIK. It could be made smarter... or you could pick a 
different toolset name such as vc71-release so it can be marked up 
appropriately. Or is it already possible to mark failures based on 
debug/release? I don't know. In general I don't like marking tests that work 
as expected failures because when they fail for real, nobody notices.
