Excellent, thanks for the review and testing :-)

It was coded that way on purpose to preserve the existing behaviour of
--autoresume (it always assumes the last module in the built list
failed), but I admit even I found it weird (no matter how the last
module did it always has an implicit "FAIL: " status, but I didn't
think you'd approve if the behaviour changed). The "fix" for this
would entail figuring out if there is a next module to build and
finding out what that next module might be. That isn't an easy thing
to do. It is easier when a --modfile is provided, but only slightly
so.
