Sorry, I triple checked for it and I've no idea how I missed it every
time.

Right, all sounds exactly how I thought it should work:

There is an osstest in progress, the first bite of the cherry failed
with one of the intermittent failures. So IMHO you may as well append to
pretest when ever you are ready, if the current attempt happens to fail
again then there's no harm adding this lot into the mix for next time.
