This suggests that the current pytest-asyncio package is totally unusable without a more recent pytest. And probably only even built because it doesn't run its own tests (arguably a bug in itself).
This bug can happen even if the tests being run don't actually use
pytest_asyncio (e.g. see pandas 1.0.5+dfsg-2); to avoid it one needs to
not have it installed, i.e. remove the build/test-dependency.
