Yeesh! I didn't know that. Is there somewhere we could write it down
for test writers who make this same mistake, maybe? I would have
merrily written tests that expected the tab :-(

Your patch looks right to me. I know that I hit the "step over
initial brace" on all platforms on a regular basis - it's not like
this is a new problem. But letting it pass is probably relatively
newer than the IRIX-specific xfail.
