There were discussions on this when we were talking about changing the syntax back in 6/12 (and then in 9/12 when the changes were landing).

The general theory (I think) was that if a test is failing the pixel results and starts failing the text results as well, that almost certainly is a regression that should be noticed (and, conversely, if a test is now only failing the pixel tests, that's an improvement that should be noticed). There was also the belief that this mattered more to the Chromium devs than others :).

Further, there were also debates as to whether reftests should be ImageOnlyFailure or just Failure. I don't think this one matters much one way or another.
