[vite] cannot find entry point module ... error when a runner full reloads with a virtual module entry

[hi-ogawa]

Describe the bug

I found the issue when migrating to environment API on hi-ogawa/vite-plugins#669. Minimal reproduction looks like this:

// virtual:entry
import hello from "/src/hello.js";

// repro.js
await server.environments.ssr.runner.import("virtual:entry");
await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1000)); // need to wait a bit
fs.writeFileSync("src/hello.js", `export default "hello-${Date.now()}"\n`);
// == logs ==
// [vite] program reload
// [vite] An error happened during full reload
// [vite] cannot find entry point module 'virtual:entry'.
