Just so long as we are confident that the original error is preserved,
and not lost under a deluge of what may come next. E.g. is there
sufficient syncs after detecting the taint to record the kernel logs
asap?

Although that the kernel taints is a strong indicator the test results
are unreliable (or even irrelevant), imo.
