There is no way to output diagnostics in TAP. The stuff Test::More spits out to STDERR are unparsable comments indented for humans. Its not TAP.
This is the single biggest TAP deficiency.

can't output them for passes."

Or for other reasons. E.g. Test::Class outputs some diagnostics in verbose mode that apply to a whole set of tests.
