Oh good, beagleplay is run after the EVM in my loop and so I didn't see

Well the good news is that I've got the tests running again here, and I
think I mostly understand where the challenges will be in updating this
lab to a newer labgrid version and so being able to migrate it to on top

will be splitting out your serieses in to test fixes and labgrid
implementation details.
