Looks useful to me, but I'd think it might be desirable to use separate
directories for those tests, so that it is more obvious that it is a
different category of tests.  Now that we use git, just using git mv
to move them to another place once they are fixed for good (together with
some dg-* directive tweaks) wouldn't be that much work later.

So having gcc.dg/unfixed/ , g++.dg/unfixed/ , c-c++-common/unfixed/
and their torture/ suffixed variants (or better directory name for those)?
