Comment (by netweb):

 The PHPUnit `ajax` and `external-http` group of tests are not run as part
 of the PHP 5.2 Travis CI tests:

 i.e. Both the grunt sub tasks of  part of `grunt phpunit` task:
 * `phpunit -c phpunit.xml.dist --group ajax`
 * `phpunit -c phpunit.xml.dist --group external-http`

 Example via Travis CI job ~2 months ago:  https://travis-
 ci.org/aaronjorbin/develop.wordpress/builds/72667225
 {{{
 Running "phpunit:ajax" (phpunit) task

 tests/phpunit/multisite.xml

 Not running external-http tests. To execute these, use --group external-
 http.

 Configuration read from

 }}}

 And
 {{{

 tests/phpunit/multisite.xml

 Where both should respectively be:
 {{{

 Installing...
 Running as single site... To run multisite, use -c
 tests/phpunit/multisite.xml
 Not running ms-files tests. To execute these, use --group ms-files.
 Not running external-http tests. To execute these, use --group external-
 http.

 And

 Sadly PHPUnit error codes do not detect this: `Done, without errors.`

 I've tried to find unearth some older build/job URL's but due to the way
 Travis CI UI works this is particularly difficult, I'd hoped to get a
 build/job before r30298 but haven't been able to, the closest I've got is
 [https://travis-ci.org/aaronjorbin/develop.wordpress/jobs/44397980 #951]
 from ~10 months ago where the ajax and external-http are not run.
