I don't think I like this part. It's not uncommon to expect non zero return when tests are failing even in developer sessions. If we are to ever convert to using this new run-test for automated systems, which we really should, it must return non zero on failures.

I'm guessing you added this to avoid the extra failure printing from the build system. Surely this can be worked around differently?

Note that make run-test will exit with value 0 even in case of test failures. A non-zero exit code will indicate a failure in the run-test framework. The last line printed will show either TEST FAILURE or TEST SUCCESS, depending on how the test results ended up.
