This is a known issue of the fact that the XML format includes summary
attributes on the root element; the test result formatter builds up a DOM in
memory and saves it on success.

when the JVM is killed, no file, so no diagnostics.

a brand new XML format would fix this, but there's no easy way to do an
stream-to-disk version of the current format.

What we could do is add an option to save the (incomplete) DOM to disk after
every test. This is something you could turn on with a java property in the test
process. It would make big test runs slower, but let people diagnose what the
last test that finished was, and from that, infer what went wrong.
