I took a look at converting some of the existing tests. This seems to work. It's a bit longer to read, perhaps, but I kind of like that the expected outcome is all laid out. It also pollutes the test output less (e.g., if you wanted to count up skipped tests in the whole suite, you'd get a bunch of noise from t0000 for these uninteresting skips).
Thoughts? I think this is something I'd do on top of your patch.
