    <testcase name=foo/bar/test status=run>

Research direction

Start at the scala_junit_test rule and reproduce the sample test.xml output from the issue. Trace how test failures are collected and serialized, then add coverage for the six-method, one-failure case; done means the XML reports the individual test failure details rather than only an exit code.
