Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the shown pytest command against pytest-xdist 1.29.0 and 1.30.0, using test/test_example.py while test/test_another.py is present. Compare how the two versions handle the selected test path and distributed execution. Done means only the requested test file runs rather than all five tests.
