I was not necessarily on a general campaign (although clearly FileCheck and its documentation could use a little love).  Your suggestion in particular could be subject to false positives (for example if you said "RUN: ... -check-prefix MYSTUFF" you don't want to report that RUN line).

Another one I've tripped over is that if you specify multiple -check-prefix options, FileCheck won't detect typos.  It insists that any specified combination of prefixes must result in a nonzero number of checks, but it doesn't verify that each individual prefix occurs at least once.
