Thanks @kumaraditya303, this would have helped a lot. The one thing I'd add, which is why the test didn't make sense to me at first, is this:
# Normally a single Python package uses a single Python and a single NumPy version
# as the target (i.e., lowest-supported) version, so this test isn't realistic in that respect.
# However, it *is* realistic for cross-package issues between extension modules. This can
# happen in practice, e.g. when Cython extensions load types/objects from sys.modules`
# instead of from the local copy embedded in each extension (cython#7914).
