You're correct. I checked the fntests.log and found the ismember.m  
did report an error. However, since the proper response was given, it  
appears to be a false failure.

ismember.m
  ***** xtest assert (ismember ('', {'abc', 'def'}), false);
!!!!! known failure
error: assert (ismember (, {"abc", "def"}),false) expected
0
but got
[](0x0)
Dimensions don't match
  ***** xtest fail ('ismember ([], {1, 2})', 'error:.*');
!!!!! known failure
error: expected error <error:.*> but got none
