Problem was in fact that test from one module was referencing a test resource from other module of the same maven multi-module project. I'm not sure whether it is a bug in TestNG or m2eclipse eclipse integration, but it enabled test, which was failing in Maven, to run successfully from TestNG eclipse plugin.
