Ahhhh, finally found the difference, example 8 works as I would expect. Turns out that my test case had a BOOST_REQUIRE rather than a BOOST_CHECK (like example 8), so it turns out that a test case that has a BOOST_REQUIRE and is flagged as a known issues still causes a non-zero exit status which is not what I would expect since the test was flagged as a known issue anyway. Is that the intended behavior? Or would you consider revising this behavior in a future release?
I appreciate your help.
