I agree with you, and I have already reported the issue to the
developers (along with some other issues that I addressed in the package
definition).

This test failure wasn't getting detected in the past due to a missing
"set -o pipefail" in the test runner, which could explain why it was
missed by the developers.
I don't know enough to fix the bug myself, but I have a suspicion it is
a bug in the test rather than in the library.
