It's a known bug in PackageLoader.  I hope to look at it soonish.

For now, I suggest you create a separate repository PetitParser-Tests 
and put its package file in Tests/package.xml.  This is the same trick 
that is used in Iliad to build all Iliad*.star files with a single 
"gst-package --download".
