My guess (based on the last themecheck code I've seen) is that it's
the warning of suspicious code that's failing it. The other two are
just notifications but don't cause a fail.

I think that warning is for file_get_contents(__FILE__) or fopen,
again based on the last I saw of the theme checks.

It's a recommended guideline so the check is just highlighting it,
doubt it's a cause of failure.

As above doubt it's cause of failure, just picking up of possible
violation of required guideline.

Just my thoughts, will need Otto to confirm or deny.
