Comment (by jrf):

 Related #53746, #50209

 When reviewing the changes proposed in #53746, it also became very clear
 that `setUp()` and `tearDown()` are incorrectly used at this time in the
 WP test suite.

 `setUp()` should prepare the environment for the tests.
 `tearDown()` should bring the environment back to the default state.

 At this time, a lot of "bring back to default state" is done in `setUp()`,
 making the test suite inherently unstable.

 A review of, and improvement to this should be included in this ticket.
