Research direction

Start with the attached testmultimoduledebug.zip and reproduce the issue in VS Code using a breakpoint in b/src/main/java/test/b/BasicService.java while running a test from a/src/test/java/test/a/SimpleTest.java. Compare debugging with and without the spybean annotation; done means the test stops at the lala method breakpoint when the annotation is present.
