Valid points you are raising.
What's currently broken with tests is not, that developers don' care but
rather, that developers are not aware of failing tests due to the lack
of visibility. Also it's not possible currently to tell which commit is
responsible for a failing test.
Are you sure visibility is the problem?  We've had a cdash[1] since the
hackfest in Lisbon, I think, and all the nightly builds report there ever
since.

I'm pretty sure it is. Do you ever looks at this page? I doubt that the majority of devs even knows it exists. They do however know that github exists.

Main points to nightly build vs. per-commit build is that responsibility is visible. And therefore it's possible to revert the responsible commit. And there's mail notification that makes it pretty hard to ignore failing tests. Additional plus point for Travis CI -> github is that pull requests are also tested.
