Yes, that was the other alternative I considered.  In my case, though,
since I'm trying to get a sense of how many failures I have to deal
with, I really wanted a "make -k" behavior that would continue after
the first failure.  After all, all I was going to do was manually run
fsck, and then continue the run --- so we might as well have the check
script do it automatically and then allow things to continue.

We could make it be configurable, via a command-line option.  The -k
option isn't taken so we could have check -k that works like make -k
if you think that's better.  OTOH, perhaps making -k the default
behaviour is actually the better way to go, and in that case, maybe
it's not worth having the command-line flag?
