I don't like that.  You can already get this behavior with the --directives 
flag from prove, and it subverts the point of the TODO directive: run the 
test, but expect it to fail and don't make a big deal of it.

If you report failing TODOs (sorry, *passing* TODOs), you might as well report 
passing oks.
