I know we cover most of the success (expected) cases for things
we care about, but at the same time I personally find that tests
for failure cases (insane input, dataset expected to fail) are
missing.

We do not need investigation.  We need a volunteer.

And perhaps a new patch/feature acceptance criteria that
requires both expected behaviour and expected failure tests, but
I am lazy ;-).
