We don't really know if it doesn't fail. The return value may be:
- Different from stdout (your assumption)
- Or just NULL (failure of some sort)
Maybe saving it and printing it with errno [and strerror(errno) of
course] would give us a hint.
I must admit I do suspect you were right in your guess this is
just a stupid assumption of the test suite, however it looks like this
test suite should have passed on many OS (if we talk about the
"official" X11 test suite) so it is indeed a mystery.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is
interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes
your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to
report.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the
double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is
corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless
and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is
connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to
another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your
icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot
and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro
code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash
the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off
the computer and be sure to tell your Mom! %
