The following module [1] is used to reload all Lua modules (including
`jit.p`). It was used for any Lua package update or code modification.

[1]: https://github.com/moonlibs/package-reload

Also, it is not only about unloading the module but also about finishing
the process too (as you first discovered). This looks like a real use
case. This variant of the test is just simpler than creating a child
process and checking its result files.

It is not a requirement, just a suggestion. See the last line of my
comment. I'm OK with reproducing the issue only since it is not the
vital part of the code.

So, just ignore it then.
