[CI] Silent test-suite fails on Windows

[jasagredo]

Describe the bug
In the test: PackageTests\Regression\T5309\cabal.test.hs

The command

*** Exception: Command "D:\a\cabal\cabal\dist-newstyle-validate-ghc-9.10.1\build\x86_64-windows\ghc-9.10.1\cabal-install-3.13.0.0\x\cabal\build\cabal\cabal.exe" "v2-test" "-vverbose +markoutput +nowrap" "--builddir" "C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\Temp\cabal-testsuite-34792\cabal.dist\work\.\dist" "-j1" "--package-db=D:\a\cabal\cabal\testdb\intree\store\ghc-9.10.1-c219\package.db" "--package-db=D:\a\cabal\cabal\testdb\intree\dist-newstyle\packagedb\ghc-9.10.1" "all" "--test-show-details=direct" failed.

which should produce some output directly on the screen (because of "--test-show-details=direct") shows no output and just fails, making the test fail on CI. On my machine this test passes succesfully. I'm not sure how one could debug this (perhaps with a tmate action into the machine).

I have observed in the past that sometimes if a library is missing the testsuite fails to execute without any message to the screen, perhaps that is the case.
