You can't reasonably expect ActiveState to report the test failures
since they've got an automated build. The best they could do is report
through cpan-testers and I don't know whether they already do it or
not.

However, I completely agree that users in general should be
responsible for reporting the test failures to the authors. That's
something I always do. In fact, this specific test case failure has
already been reported on this mailing list on April 7th by Daniel
Westermann-Clark. I also reported it at least twice to Matt on IRC
(one time when 0.06002 came out then when 0.06003 came out, if memory
serves me well).
