I don't know how `dub dustmite` works, but my advice would be to 
use standalone dustmite and write a shellscript that handles your 
success/fail condition with an exit code. That's always worked 
for me, and it makes it easier to externally check what's 
happening.
Ie. test.sh:

---
#!/bin/sh
dub 2>&1 |grep -F "ScrollView6__initZ+0xd8): undefined
> reference to \`internal'"
---

dustmite example ../test.sh

Then if you have to recurse into a dub project, just copy it into 
your example folder so it's compiled in, and repeat.
