A latent bug is one that is broken, but appears to work, and then a change in the compiler is made to expose the bug that was always there but didn’t show a failure. It only applies to the compiler proper. In this case, since the change is to add a test case, the test case can only show bugs that aren’t latent (or failures in the test case).
