Title: fix UNIVERSAL::isa t/bugs.t on 5.17.2+

In 5.17.2, the bug is fixed whereby NotLoaded->isa('UNIVERSAL') returned false, even though the relationship is there — otherwise, how could ->isa work? This patch reverses the sense of the test, making it a TODO under perls before the bugfix. The test suite runs correctly under maint and blead perls.

This failure is blocking my usual set of libraries from cleanly installing on perl-5.17.2, which I like to do to keep an eye on blead. Meantime, I'll install this by hand, but it'd be keen to see the fix released. If you agree that it's a fix. :-)
