For the most part it didn't fail on ones marked as should fail because the Groovy parsers are pretty lenient with extra characters appearing after the closing brackets/braces. I created a ticket [1] for one that I think should fail because it produces inaccurate data. The only file it failed to parse that was marked as should succeed was y_number_huge_exp.json [2] because BigDecimal doesn't handle exponents with more than 10 digits (leading zero's excluded).
