Thanks for answering, how's this:

$ cat exit.t
use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 1;

is 1, 0, 'Tickety-boo';
exit 1;

which gives:

$ prove --failures --ignore-exit exit.t
exit.t .. 1/1 
not ok 1 - Tickety-boo

#   Failed test 'Tickety-boo'
#   at exit.t line 6.
#          got: '1'
#     expected: '0'
# Looks like your test exited with 1 just after 1.
exit.t .. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/1 subtests

The only difference between your code and my version is that I have a failing test as well a non-zero exit status, and with that the "Dubious" message appears. Omitting the --ignore-exit flag doesn't change my output, so it's not clear that the flag is actually doing anything at all.
