Wasn't sure, so I downloaded that one - same results.
Mind you, all my testing was in a DOS box, not in DOS mode; not
sure where the reporter was running.
If they're using the hacked DOS mode, I wouldn't be surprised if
it was failing - it's not intended for 'production use', just for
rescue disks and _old_ DOS programs.

I'll look there; is there an existing test case for this I could use?

_os_flavor has 'MS-DOS'; both (0) and (1) versions of _get_dos_version
return 8.0.

There is no 'official' DOS mode, and I'm disinclined to use the crack
that's floating around.
