Can't `mock` or `alias` module in browser mode when dependency is aliased (`npm:my-dependency@2.0.0`)

Describe the bug

Hello, we are trying to understand what would take to migrate into vitest on our repositories at MUI, both for browser and jsdom testing.

And we encountered an issue in regard to aliased dependencies.

We currently have the following in our package

    "date-fns": "2.30.0",
    "date-fns-v3": "npm:date-fns@3.6.0",

This is due to the different signatures between these two versions. In the final code, this is a peer dependency, so inside our code we only always use import from 'date-fns'.

But when testing, we want to test the actual library, which requires some aliasing.

I've tried with both config.alias and vi.mock and they both work on jsdom, but not on browser.

// config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
  resolve: {
    alias: [
      {
        find: 'date-fns',
        replacement: 'date-fns-v3',
        customResolver(source, importer, options) {
          if (importer?.includes('DateFnsV3')) return source
          return null
        },
      }
    ]
  },
  test: {
    setupFiles: ['./vitest.setup.ts'],
  },
})

/// TypeError: Failed to fetch dynamically imported module: http://localhost:5173/Users/dev/vitest-browser-alias-mock/components/DateFnsV3.test.tsx?import&browserv=1726153861578

// test file
vi.mock('date-fns/addHours', ()=>({addHours}))
vi.mock('date-fns/parse', ()=>({parse}))

/// SyntaxError: The requested module '/node_modules/.vite/deps/date-fns_parse.js?v=16a839a0' does not provide an export named 'parse'

// test file
vi.mock('date-fns/addHours', ()=>({addHours}))
vi.mock('date-fns/parse', ()=>({parse}))

/// SyntaxError: The requested module '/node_modules/.vite/deps/date-fns_parse.js?v=16a839a0' does not provide an export named 'parse'

This mocking error looks like a bug and not really related to npm:... alias dependency. Based on your reproduction, I made something simpler just installing "date-fns": "2.30.0" and the error is same https://github.com/hi-ogawa/reproductions/tree/main/vitest-6483-browser-mock-date-fns

What looks odd to me is I see these two requests on devtools and probably the 2nd one again exporting addHours is wrong:

// http://localhost:5173/node_modules/.vite/deps/date-fns_addHours.js?t=1726706677742&v=fa62991a
const module = globalThis["__vitest_mocker__"].getFactoryModule("/node_modules/.vite/deps/date-fns_addHours.js");
export const addHours = module["addHours"];

// http://localhost:5173/node_modules/.vite/deps/date-fns_parse.js?t=1726706677742&v=fa62991a
const module = globalThis["__vitest_mocker__"].getFactoryModule("/node_modules/.vite/deps/date-fns_parse.js");
export const addHours = module["addHours"];
