no. i did not find any log file but looked into the code. i do not
understand what they really try to do ... but i'd saythe test suite
should not test things which are known not to work.

the code contains:
#if APR_HAVE_IPV6
static void tcp6_socket(abts_case *tc, void *data)

and the config log says:
configure:34230: checking if APR supports IPv6
configure:34232: result: yes
