While I think this might be helpful in some situations, some situations might be difficult to implement. For example, a build with multiple steps can run all of them even if some of them fail.
If you would still like to see the failing step added to the build status message, please send a feature request to our tracker here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/TW
