So, if I make a change to fix one of the failures and inadvertantly
break a test that previously succeeded, I can go an indeterminate number
of code-test cycles before I find out about it?

That seems like the canonical reason why “run the entire unit test
suite every time” is good practice, and I can't see why the above
behaviour would be desirable.
