pytest 8.2.2 fails assertion #12440

Description

Discovered while testing LabExT with pytest 8.2.2. We do integration testing of a TKinter GUI as part of our CI. A particularly long test fails with an assertion error when using pytest=8.2.2 instead of an older version. The assertion error is raised possibly because of the change in #12368. I can't reproduce the error locally on my windows machine, however when pinning pytest's version to <8.2.2, this assertion is not triggered and our CI succeeds.

Console output from the CI run here: bug_reports.txt, error triggered is:

  self = <TestCaseFunction test_mainwindow_repeated_IL_sweep>
      def runtest(self) -> None:
          from _pytest.debugging import maybe_wrap_pytest_function_for_tracing
      
          testcase = self.instance
  >       assert testcase is not None
  E       AssertionError
