That was the only one that FAILED rather than getting skipped when I built
with --with-openssl=internal --disable-privacy.

That is a separate issue, you can't turn off v3 even if you want to so it is

Fair enough, I was basing the change on T0220 and T0221 who are both using
NOAUTHTESTARGS.

Looking at T024* seems to suggest that AUTHTESTARGS require some SKIPIF's
