`julia 1.8.2` breaks `Plots` precompilation (vs `1.8.1`) on `windows`

[t-bltg]

I have no other explanation, the error was first spotted in JuliaPlots/Plots.jl#4402, and is constantly reproducible.

(I can only test this through ci: I'm on linux and do not have access to a windows machine).

Is this still an issue? Plots v1.34.0, (not v1.34.1, was yanked), v1.34.2, v1.34.3, and latest v1.35.2 all precompile on my Windows machine with Julia 1.8.2.

I've pushed a workaround (disable animation examples in precompilation) in JuliaPlots/Plots.jl#4406, so I guess we'll never know what change between 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 caused this.
