On further thought, this is a bug in your version of test(1) and not in
the m4 testsuite; POSIX requires test to fail with status 1 if the test
was performed but returned false, and only allows status 255 if there was
a syntax error in parsing the arguments to test. But it is still worth
working around in the m4 testsuite:
