This is (as you have found) a known issue with TeamCity, there are a set of linked issues in their Issue Tracker. This issue is hopefully scheduled to be resolved in the next release of TeamCity (version 8.x)

In the mean time, the way we identified to resolve the issue (for version 6.5.5) was to download the test results file as part of the later steps. This was then parsed to check for any test failures, returning an error code and hence breaking the build properly (performing any cleanup we needed as part of that failure) which would probably work for you.
