I was surprised by this too.
"TEST" tests and "TEST_VM" tests are collected in a single list and
run sequentially. The first "TEST_VM" test that gets run by that will
trigger VM initialization, and all the remaining tests (whether "TEST"
or "TEST_VM") get run in the resulting context.
I don't much like that behavior.
