I think we might just give the same error message for "known to fail" case as well. Yes, it is annoying to see them, but that is the point, we want to fix them.
No, people who did not break them should not need to see the errors! If you're going to have a "known to fail" flag, then it really should be silent *by default*. When I run make check, I want to know I didn't break anything. If someone flagged a test as "known to fail", I really don't need to care about it.
Alternatively, we could get rid of the "known to fail" tag completely and just make sure the tests pass all the time. I actually wanted to do that but didn't have the skills to fix the remaining issues ;-)
