This is not a regression in any stable releases, failing tests is not a problem at all. As release and SRU processes only consider regressions (previously passed, now failing). Things that have always failed are treated as such by proposed-updates and the rest of the tooling ("always failed"). This is exactly the same as FTBFS - only regressions count, and we have many packages that have never built on certain arches.
SRU policy, Section 2 "When", has three major categories listing in bullet points cases that are eligible for SRU.
