That message is printed by the test harness, not by the test files:

$ cd Test
$ grep -n 'all tests successful' * 
ztst.zsh:505:  ZTST_verbose 2 "ZTST_test: all tests successful"
ztst.zsh:562:  print "$ZTST_testname: all tests successful."
$ 

I expect it is printed when every test point in a test file has
succeeded.  (I'm not very familiar with the test harness.)

I expect it's the latter, which means there are likely two separate issues:

1. The test execution crashes somewhere around the "overlapping
   region_highlight with true-color" test point.  We have little
   information on the cause of this.

2. The test harness does not print the messages complementary to "Test
   successful" and "all tests successful" in this case.  (Bug in the
   test harness.)
