I've seen the same unexpected passes, and had just completed the same
bisect run myself, although I fixed the build failure by cherry-picking
82921316a ("SQUASH???", 2017-11-18) onto commits that wouldn't build,
given that commit seems to exist entirely to fix that build breakage.  I
think that adds more weight to b5a812b29 being the culprit for these
unexpected passes.

It's definitely the case that these unexpected passes exist at 8e4ff0ae1
("Merge branch 'pw/sequencer-in-process-commit' into pu", 2017-11-21)
and do not exist at its immediate left-hand parent, e017a4ccc ("Merge
branch 'jn/ssh-wrappers' into jch", 2017-11-21), which means it's
clearly _something_ in the branch merged at 8e4ff0ae1.
