Focused tests fail to construct nested classes

[berlin-ab]

When running a nested test method in Intellj with Ctrl+Shift+R (a focused test), this is the failure. However, the tests run and pass when running the entire file.

@RunWith(NestedRunner.class)
public class NestedTests {
    public class WhenUsingANestedClass {
        @Test
        public void itShouldNotBlowUpWhenFocusingOnASingleTest() throws Exception {
            assertThat(1, equalTo(1));
        }
    }
}

Eclipse (4.6.0 - Neon) also is not able to run only a specific test case (method).

IntelliJ 2016.2 has the same issue:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: wrong number of arguments

It will only pass if the parent class with the @RunWith(NestedRunner.class) annotation is selected.
