Instead of an error, I get a no-op result that looks like

That makefile target is poorly written.
It was probably intended to have a dependency on the directory
itself, so by adding "%/" to the pattern it correctly produces an
error (since std.algorithm.d doesn't exist):
%.test : $(LIB) %/
...
To allow for your case, just add this line:
std.%.test : std/%.test
While that should work (at least for the first level), it still
is very poorly written. It doesn't use the white-listed
modules/packages despite the rest of the makefile seems to use
that fairly consistently.
I would replace all the ".test" targets with the following code:
# Target for quickly running a single unittest (using static
phobos library).
# For example: "make std/algorithm/mutation.test"
# The mktemp business is needed so .o files don't clash in
concurrent unittesting.
$(addsuffix .test,$(D_MODULES)): %.test : %.d $(LIB)
T=`mktemp -d /tmp/.dmd-run-test.XXXXXX` &&
\
(
\
$(DMD) -od$$T $(DFLAGS) -main -unittest $(LIB)
-defaultlib= -debuglib= $(LINKDL) -cov -run $< ; \
RET=$$? ; rm -rf $$T ; exit $$RET
\
)
# Target for quickly unittesting all modules and packages within

define PACKAGETEST_template
$(1).test: $$(patsubst %,$(1)/%.test,$$(PACKAGE_$(subst
/,_,$(1))))
endef
$(foreach package,$(STD_PACKAGES),$(eval $(call
PACKAGETEST_template,$(package))))
# Target for quickly unittesting all modules and packages by
using dot as a separator.

define MODULESYNTAXTEST_template
$(subst /,.,$(1)).test : $(1).test
endef
$(foreach module,$(STD_PACKAGES) $(D_MODULES),$(eval $(call
MODULESYNTAXTEST_template,$(module))))
(I'm not going to make a pull request though.)
