Note that %!test with a message behaves the same as %!xtest, so I

I like the extra information in that "x". (The pattern "%!test
<BUG_ID>" does not inform me that is expected to fail b/c for example
your second change adds a bug id to at least one test which is currently
passing.)
In principle, keeping the "x" would allow us to modify our tooling so
that passing an xtest is fatal. This is how the Doctest pkg behaves.
Anyway, I assume packages can keep using xtest.
