Naturally, for compile-time units there are some cases where compile- time failure is the correct behavior - how should I structure tests so that this is recognized? Presumably I need to have a separate test source file for each expected compilation error, right?

Right. Plus you need an outside regression testing facility that supports checks for expected compilation failures. Boost.Build system does support this as it was mentioned in some other post. Gennadiy
