Every case caught in package CI seems correctly failing. Things like this were already not possible but this is maybe still slightly annoying:

when nimvm:
  let a = 123
else:
  let a = 456

> Code in branches must not affect semantics of the code that follows
the
`when nimvm` statement. E.g. it must not define symbols that are used in
  the following code.

The test shouldn't have passed when
#24306
would be implemented somehow. Some third packages have already misused
`when nimvm` by defining symbols in the other branch of `when nimvm`.

e.g. in status-im/nim-unittest2#34

```nim
when nimvm:
  discard
else:
  let suiteName {.inject.} = nameParam

use(suiteName)
```
