What did you do?

Prepare these files:

go.mod

module foo

foo.go

package foo

var bar = 42

foo_test.go

package foo_test

import (
        "testing"

        "foo"
)

func TestBar(t *testing.T) {
        if foo.Bar != 42 {
                t.Error("ng")
        }
}

export_test.go

package foo

var Bar = bar

replace.json

{
    "Replace": {
        "foo.go": "overlay/foo.go",
        "foo_test.go": "overlay/foo_test.go",
        "export_test.go": "overlay/export_test.go"
    }
}

overlay/foo.go

package foo

// Do nothing

overlay/foo_test.go

package foo_test

import (
        "testing"
)

func TestBar(t *testing.T) {
        // Do nothing                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
}

overlay/export_test.go

package foo

// Do nothing 

And run:

go test -overlay=replace.json

What did you expect to see?

The compile and test succeed.

What did you see instead?

go-vet failed with an odd reason

$ go test -overlay=replace.json .
# foo_test
vet: ./foo_test.go:6:2: could not import foo (can't resolve import "")
FAIL    foo [build failed]

Maybe duplicated with #44957?
