I believe there are two things happening:

1. Nigel's smoker is configured with halt_on_failure => 0 (https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/CPAN/lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm#halt_on_failure <https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/CPAN/lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm#halt_on_failure>)
2. CPAN::Reporter isn't picking up the failed dependency message and refusing to send in the report. (https://github.com/cpan-testers/CPAN-Reporter/blob/master/lib/CPAN/Reporter.pm#L642-L650 <https://github.com/cpan-testers/CPAN-Reporter/blob/master/lib/CPAN/Reporter.pm#L642-L650>)

(2) assumes that the smoker is using CPAN::Reporter. I don't know if it is or not.

Regarding whether there are any 32-bit testers (i686-linux*, i386-freebsd), I suspect there are still, and I could look it up in the database if it's important to know. It looks like stats.cpantesters.org <http://stats.cpantesters.org/> isn't showing more recent versions of Perl since 5.12-ish (which is a bug that should be fixed).
