Replacing crashed worker ends with failure and missing coverage

First at all, thanks for your time and the develop of this project.

I've an issue where sometimes our CI system kills a thread (not python issue) and the affected
worker is restarted

May I'm interpreting in a bad way the auto worker restart feature.

What I expect is if the worker can be recovered then the test finalize without errors but in this case what I see a test error is raised and also coverage plugin is not able to recover coverage from the restarted worker

Reproduce the worker failure around tests/test_models.py::Test::test_xxx using the reported pytest, pytest-xdist, and pytest-cov setup. Then trace xdist's crashed-worker replacement behavior and pytest-cov's failed-slave handling. Done means a recovered worker does not fail the test session unexpectedly and coverage data is retained or the expected limitation is documented.
