Agreed. I've tried to keep the tests as simple as I can, though even for the simplest of the Eshell tests, I think it's useful to show this info. 99% of the tests are "run some Eshell command and make sure it does the right thing", and if it fails, the new failure output is probably enough to debug it without even looking at the test code.
(Closing this, since I merged the patch.)
