TAP::Parser does not have that counting bug:

  runtests  -Q count.t
  # Failed test 2 in count.t at line 9
  #  count.t line 9 is: ok(0);
  # Failed test 3 in count.t at line 10
  #  count.t line 10 is: ok(0);
  # Failed test 4 in count.t at line 11
  #  count.t line 11 is: ok(0);
  unexpected crash! at count.t line 12.

  Test Summary Report
  -------------------
  count.t (Wstat: 65280 Tests: 4 Failed: 3)
    Failed tests:  2-4
    Non-zero exit status: 255
    Parse errors: Bad plan.  You planned 6 tests but ran 4.
  Files=1, Tests=4,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 cusr +  0.02 csys =  0.03 CPU)

It correctly reports the number of tests run, but lists a parse error, stating that the number of tests run didn't match the plan.  This is the behavior that we've agreed upon ("we" being those working on TAP::Parser along with those who do/did maintain Test::Harness).  Did I misunderstand something?

I think you're testing Test::Harness and not TAP::Parser, the intended replacement (it will be renamed to Test::Harness, of course).  Sorry if I wasn't clear on that point.
