Maybe you don't have --enable-tap-tests?
Yes, adding that does solve the too-fast "problem". But it doesn't solve the "I don't know what this output to stderr means" problem.
Should --enable-tap-tests be mentioned in "32.1.3. Additional Test Suites"? Or at least cross-referenced from "32.4. TAP Tests"?
It was obvious to me that check-world wouldn't test plperl unless plperl was configured. But not so obvious that it wouldn't test anything using the tap framework unless that was configured, until after you pointed it out.
