alt Hacker NewsGoogle typically has very, very thorough tests.
I don't have any insider information here, but it's likely that the creator of this menu is long gone (it looks old!) and this feature is in maintenance mode. Someone--or a bot--just trying to keep the build green may have disabled the test without understanding that it was pointing to a real issue.

Yeah, sure sounds like they have figured out this whole testing thing perfectly well, if that's the case :)
