Public bug reported:

Version: 2.5.5, GUI Runner.

When a custom SuiteBuilder on the SuiteBuilder-extension point is
installed, and this SuiteBuilder is designed to build TestSuites from
Types that (re)use the standard NUnit-attributes (TestFixtureAttribute,
TestAttribute, etc), the built-in NUnitTestFixtureBuilder attempts to
build TestFixtures from these types, instead of letting the custom
SuiteBuilder take care of them. This effectively disabled the installed
SuiteBuilder, unless you force not to (re)use any of the standard NUnit-
attributes in your custom TestFixture-classes, which is not desirable.

The solution: NUnit should feed Types to any custom SuiteBuilder before
falling back to the built-in builder (as was the case in previous
versions).

NB: this may also be true for all other extension points (i.e. custom
TestCaseBuilders).
