Looks okay to me too, I'll be catching it in the next spin.

Your intuition is proper.
I wrote the 'setup_kfail' comments before kfail was implemented,
and before we'd figured out our idioms for it. It turns out that we
will have lots of 'kfail' and very few 'setup_kfail'. I think the
remaining xfail's should be that way too (after we kill all the bogus
ones).
