Public bug reported:

The name "EXPECTED_FAILURE()" is a bit confusing, as it could imply a
negative test. It should not be used for negative tests, however; it is
only for those tests that are failing due to a known, filed-but-as-yet-
unfixed bug.

I propose renaming this to KNOWN_BUG(). EXPECTED_FAILURE() could be kept
as a deprecated synonym for the time being.
