Not quite -- you do have a comment explaining why you relax the test. But I think it would be preferable to _not_ relax the test but still have a comment that says that the outcome isn't quite clear cut. This would alert us if the outcome ever changed and thus make it way more of a concious change if we had to adapt the test, but it would still leave a future reader in the know that a changed test outcome might actually be okay.
