Blink doesn't run "modified versions of the tests", at least in the
anti-alias POV. We do have some modifications during the import process for
other purposes, we're trying to minimize/stop doing so, but nothing for
anti-alias even today.

I don't know about Edge and WebKit, the result of the test harness is from
contributors in Japan running them manually.

So to me, it is only Gecko that is hitting the anti-alias issue. Even for
Gecko, IIUC, setting a flag to run test properly is different from running
"modified versions of the tests". I'm not very familiar but AFAIU, Blink
uses some flags for CSS2 test suites too. Several factors such as UA
stylesheets, system settings, fonts in the platform, anti-aliases, etc. are
obstacles to run tests in a stable manner. Better to normalize them when
running tests.

Does this feel you good?
