Description
Summary
The problem occurs if the any_errors_fatal parameter is enabled and one of the hosts is expected to fail with an error.
Ansible correctly transitions all hosts into rescue mode, but when plays are subsequently launched, Ansible only replays roles on the host where the error occurred, ignoring all others.

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
with_items:
- {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
with_items:
- "{{ foo }}"

host_3 : ok=4 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=1 ignored=0
The expected result can be achieved by adding the following task on rescue:
meta: clear_host_errors
However, it seems that the playbook should either completely fail or replay all subsequent hosts.
