[1.5.x] Stopped a test from executing queries at the module level.

Currently module level queries are executed against the real database
(specified in NAME) instead of the test database; since it is to late
to fix this for 1.6, we at least ensures stable builds. Refs #21443.

Backport of 4fcc1e4ad8 from master.
