Golang testing/synctest: panic when calling WaitGroup.Add on a package-scope WaitGroup

var wg sync.WaitGroup

func TestWaitGroupGlobal(t *testing.T) {
        synctest.Run(func() {
                wg.Go(func() {})
                wg.Wait()
        })
}

fatal error: getOrSetBubbleSpecial on invalid pointer

The problem is that wg isn't in any span, and we can only associate specials with objects in spans.
