Yep, that looks like it. When I updated to Mint 18, this broke a perl script of mine, so I had a quick look to see what I could do to suppress it. The man page seemed to imply that you could replace the output formatter, but that didn't take me too far (search CPAN for TAP::Parser::Formatter: ;-) ). I suppose you could replace Tap::Formatter::Base, or some such, but I didn't need to go that far - I simply changed a couple of regex-es to ignore the excess output! :-P Do you really need to suppress that timing information or, like me, can you simply ignore it?
