The layers run in the same order, but the *discovery* of the layers
means they get *shuffled* in a different order, which means the result
of the shuffle is different, because the random shuffle is not
reseeded between each layer. I hoped that the different discovery
order was just for zope.testrunner vs zope.testing.testrunner, but
from Jonathans answer above it seems not.
