What about reverting, and instead modifying in a mips64el conditional?
As in:

  (arguments
    `(#:phases (modify-phases %standard-phases
                 ,@(if (string-prefix? "mips64el" (%current-system))
                       '((add-before 'check 'disable-the-thing =E2=80=A6))
                       '())
                 =E2=80=A6)))
