It depends whether the there is a residual protection that the
memory.low=0 sibling can use (with memory_recursiveprot).

In the discussed LTP test, there should be no residual protection that
would justify the apparently misreported memory.low events. I.e. the
test is correct, the failure points to a subtle issue with distributing
residual protection among siblings.

Been there, (haven't) done that:
