Vitest browser errors suggest locator syntax that vitest doesn't support

Describe the bug

I'm getting the following error when a getByText matches multiple elements:

Caused by: Error: strict mode violation: getByText('Country') resolved to 2 elements:
    1) <button type="button">…</button> aka locator('button').filter({ hasText: 'Country' })
    2) <span>…</span> aka locator('span').filter({ hasText: 'Country' })

Except, using either of those suggestions won't work, and results in:

TypeError: page.locator is not a function

It seems that Vitest is proxying only a limited set of functions to playwright, and the resulting playwright errors are suggesting things that vitest isn't proxying.

Reproduction

vitest-issue-8309.zip

Download, unzip, run yarn, then yarn test results in:

Caused by: Error: strict mode violation: getByText('Country') resolved to 4 elements:
    1) <button>Country of Birth</button> aka getByRole('button', { name: 'Country of Birth' })
    2) <span>Country of Birth</span> aka locator('span').filter({ hasText: 'Country of Birth' })
    3) <button>Country of Residence</button> aka getByRole('button', { name: 'Country of Residence' })
    4) <span>Country of Residence</span> aka locator('span').filter({ hasText: 'Country of Residence' })

But using the suggestions from lines 2 and 4 won't work, since vitest doesn't implement them.
