Research direction

Start with the discussion in pull request #6604 and inspect the referenced test at commit 2defdce, especially the lines linked in the issue. Reproduce the rootdir and testfile-as-argument case, then trace the nodeid handling involved. Done means the test demonstrates correct nodeids for that invocation and passes.
