test_runner (after) doesn't work on v21.7.0

[timursevimli]

Version

node v21.7.0

Platform

macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 Darwin Kernel Version 23.3.0

Subsystem

node:test

What steps will reproduce the bug?

In version 21.7.0, the t.after method is not called and completed, unlike other versions (I tried v21.6.2 and v20.11.0)

'use strict';

const assert = require('node:assert');
const test = require('node:test');

const someListener = () => {
  let timer = setTimeout(() => {}, 9999999);
  return {
    cancel: () =>  {
      if (!timer) return;
      clearTimeout(timer);
      timer = null;
    }
  };
};

test('This test, does not complete', async (t) => {
  const listener = someListener();

  t.after(() => {
    listener.cancel();
  });

  assert.strictEqual(1, 1);
});

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
