findbugsTestCases from branch 1.3.9 reports bugs as expected, findbugsTestCases from rev. 13120 reports no bugs

Reproduction steps:
1. check out rev. 13120 and version 1.3.9 of findbugs
2. on each, perform: cd findbugsTestCases; ant

select output from 1.3.9:
 [findbugs] Warnings generated: 1977
 [findbugs] Missing classes: 11
 [findbugs] Calculating exit code...
 [findbugs] Setting 'missing class' flag (2)
 [findbugs] Setting 'bugs found' flag (1)
 [findbugs] Exit code set to: 3
 [findbugs] Java Result: 3
 [findbugs] Classes needed for analysis were missing
 [findbugs] Output saved to build/normal.xml
select output from rev. 13120:
 [findbugs] Executing findbugs from ant task
 [findbugs] Running FindBugs...
 [findbugs] Calculating exit code...
 [findbugs] Exit code set to: 0
 [findbugs] Output saved to build/normal.xml

I ran this w/ ant v. 1.8.1; java 1.6_22 on linux kernel version 2.6.36, 64bit 
userspace.

I encounter this non-reporting problem when using a rev. 13120 findbugs-ant.jar 
on my own projects.  I expect that specifying "<findbugs ...  reportLevel="low" 
..." will cause findbugs to report all bugs found.  Nonetheless, when 
TextUiCommandLine lns. 584-5 are executed, they set a rankThreshold and 
priorityThreshold that cause two of my test case 
bugs--ST_WRITE_TO_STATIC_FROM_INSTANCE_METHOD and 
URF_UNREAD_PUBLIC_OR_PROTECTED_FIELD--to fail the test at ln. 175 of 
AbstractBugReporter and thus they are not reported.

Further, I can see that only a small subset of available detectors are ever 
applied to my classes (the ones in detectorList, which is populated in ln. 1039 
of FindBugs2).  I expected that all detectors in edu.umd.cs.findbugs.detect 
would be applied if I didn't specify an inclusion or exclusion list.  It looks 
like a lot more detectors (some 155) are added to a plugin's 
detectorFactoryList , but I'm not clear on the intended use of that list and 
the later-populated detectorList.
