I commented on the GIST too:

The CTR DRBG has never passed the NIST tests while the hash and HMAC DRBGs do pass. The reason for this failure is painfully unclear - I might not have understood the terse KAT files correctly or something might not be implemented to specification. I don't have a strong motivation for exploring this right now - if someone is interested then I could consult or I could be bribed to action.

In that case, should I treat the test suite for DRBG as an expected failure, and not invalidate a Stackage build if it fails?

Yes. An alternative would be for me or someone else to comment out the CTR tests until they are addressed.
