Talking offline with David, we've come up with a small example.

If we add this kconfig somewhere
+config X
+       bool "X"
+       default y
+
+config Y
+       bool "Y"
+       default y
+       depends on X
+

Then running this will fail
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config --kunitconfig xy_kunitconfig
--kconfig_add=CONFIG_X=n --kconfig_add=CONFIG_Y=n

It will fail with this
This is probably due to unsatisfied dependencies.
Missing: # CONFIG_Y is not set

The problem is that kunit.py is looking for an explicit line saying
CONFIG_Y is not set.
But CONFIG_Y's dependencies are not met, so Kconfig doesn't write it out.

I assume we can treat the absence of it in the file as proof that it's not set.
I.e. the bug lies in the is_subset() logic we have in kunit.py?

I think there's also a general problem with kunit.py/kunitconfig not
really handling disabling options properly.
