I think what Zorro is suggesting is that *when test fails* just dump
stderr and let the error message break golden image to fail the test, so
there's no need to set exit status.

And this failure doesn't give any clues why it failed, you must check
$seqres.full file to find out.

With stderr breaking golden image, you'll see what fails more easily,
e.g.


  QA output created by 309
  Silence is golden
 +/usr/sbin/tune2fs: Superblock checksum does not match superblock while trying to open /dev/mapper/testvg-scratchdev
 +Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
 ...
 (Run 'diff -u /root/git/xfstests-dev/tests/ext4/309.out /root/git/xfstests-dev/results//ext4/309.out.bad'  to see the entire diff)
