Importing an SCSS file from an npm package that transitively imports an SCSS file from a different package fails

[rajsite]

Describe the bug

I import an SCSS file from a package in node_modules that in-turn imports a different SCSS file from another package in node_modules.

What I expect is that the imports in each SCSS file resolve with the same kind of rules, so I expect both imports to pull from node_modules.

What appears to happen is that the first resolution occurs in to the SCSS file in node_modules but the second resolution behaves like a relative path import and fails (guessing the second import is not getting the same load paths configured).

I'm not quite sure but I believe this could be related to #10340.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vite-sass-transitive-import?file=src%2Fstyle.scss

Steps to reproduce

The stackblitz shows the full reproduction and error when running the npm run dev command.

The following shows the example:

// styles.scss
@import '@ni/nimble-components/dist/fonts.scss';

// node_modules/@ni/nimble-components/dist/fonts.scss
@import '@ni/nimble-tokens/dist/fonts/css/fonts.css';

// node_modules/@ni/nimble-tokens/dist/fonts/css/fonts.css
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Source Sans Pro';
 //...
}
// ...

Which results in the error:

[plugin:vite:css] [postcss] Failed to find '../node_modules/@ni/nimble-components/dist/@ni/nimble-tokens/dist/fonts/css/fonts.css'
