From latex3/latex2e/base, if you run

l3build check -epdftex -cconfig-TU

the output reads

! Error: Engine "pdftex" not set up for testing with configuration "config-TU.lua"!

If you run all checks

l3build check -epdftex

l3build ends with

Failed tests for configuration "config-TU":

  Check failed with difference files

but the list is empty: this message is not really helpful. Repeating the above error would be more appropriate.

With l3build 2024-05-27, the two cases both give a (non-error) message:

Skipping unknown engine pdftex
No applicable engine requested, config ignored
