I think it's just that the aggregation script was never meant to signal
to "make". In a regular "make test" (not using prove), each individual
test script is a dependency than can fail on its own. That means a
failure of any of them will signal "make" to fail the overall operation.

Only one failure can trigger FTBFS when make test, right?

I'm not sure I understand what your question means. I know that "FTBFS"
means "failed to build from source", but that is not a term we use in
the Git project. So if you are asking whether "make test" will exit
non-zero if a single test fails, then yes.

If you're asking whether a Debian package would consider that an FTBFS,
then probably yes, but it depends on whether they run the tests.
