The link does not (or should not) apply to pytest_generate_tests, actually.
But your observation is correct, mixing pytest_generate_tests and setup_method
does not work. I guess it didn't pop up yet because pytest_generate_tests works 
with function arguments and they are usually not mixed with setup_method.
I'd be grateful if you file a bug at
