Ah! It was implemented before we allowed duplicate test names.
Will fix.

Seems like this is really two features:
A) Note applies only if test fails.
B) Note applies regardless of toolset.
These features are not mutually exclusive; either or both can apply.
I'll implement all of the above later today. They will require format
changes to the map file, but that shouldn't be a problem.
