Just from my memory: I believe that config option (at least on the x86) side required support in the compiler which is not available back in the Trusty user-space. And the Trusty/lts-backport-xenial (not called HWE, yet to really make things confusing) is build in the Trusty user-space environment. The config options for stack protector (there was something available with a different option name) get automatically converted using the backport script.
If its left set for arm64, its probably a mistake, but somehow seems to have no visible effect. Maybe its ignored on that arch or the arm64 gcc was already including that option.
If that option is really actively enabled on arm64, then the test should probably be changed to expect this. If its a false positive, the test also needs to be adapted, but ... differently.
