I find the in-line inclusion of failed substitutions helpful when I am cleaning the minutes. I read the diagnostics for any failed substitutions and then search for them in-line to locate the point in the minutes where the proposed substitution was made to determine when some form of correction might still be appropriate.
I notice a TODO in the source:
8 # TODO: Omit` failed s/// commands?

So please do not omit them.
