Yes, sorry if I was not clear. There are two things that could
be improved:
1. The issue you raised, which is whether or not test code should
be byte-compiled.
2. Bug #6991, http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6991.
If the code you need to see in the backtrace is byte-compiled
then eliding that byte-code won't help. Agreed.
