I know how these kind of bugs feel... research/analayse/headscratch/headdesk
for several hours, and the actual fix required is to change a line or two.

I'll try to do that the next time :), however I must confess the pytest
internals (and, correspondingly, its selftests) are still quite arcane to me,
even though I'v dug through there in search of various stuff on several
occasions now. So... I'd love to get a more in-depth introduction, at a sprint
sometime maybe?
