For this example as the problem is the expression, presumably this was
"passing" with test_parsing due to returning TEST_SKIP? I did this
initially so that we could get the test merged and then the metrics
fixed. I'd prefer if test_parsing were returning TEST_FAIL.

nit: this reads funny as it isn't clear, without looking at
check_parse_id, that error is zero initialized.
