Such a test is a very good incentive to the people involved in the failing
part of the system to fix, and is greatly appreciated.  However,

 * please mark "currently-failing" test with "test_expect_failure";

   a fix patch yourself, or if you are only reporting a bug.

I can fix-up and forge your Sign-off.
