So you're saying py.test needs to be fixed? Fine with me, but then I
don't understand why you bothered bringing it up here instead of
fixing it (or reporting to the py.test maintainers, I don't know if
you're one or not).

The best place is that very same issue. If this feature is really too
annoying something needs to be done. Detailed reports about real code
that gets broken without a good cause help making that case.
