It's a test of dynamic first-letter behavior handling that used to be 
failed by at least one CSS+HTML+DOM implementation and is still failed 
by another one.  It thus indicates an aspect of first-letter which 
clearly causes implementation ... difficulties.

What more "relevance" is needed, exactly?

The purpose is, as with any test, multi-pronged:

1)  UAs claiming CSS 2.1 conformance should be passing this test.
2)  If there are issues with implementing this aspect of first-letter 
behavior simultaneously with other aspects of first-letter behavior, 
then we should have tests for both in the test suite, so we don't end up 
specifying something for first-letter that can't be implemented.

Or am I just misunderstanding the question?
