@RossComputerGuy: I suspect this might be caused by changes introduced by asahi in fcntl, see this commit

Reverting that does fix this issue. I'm raising it with the Asahi folks.

I have patched the patch to address this problem for NixOS on Apple Silicon users at least. Not sure if Asahi will take it but I don't think there's anything further for us the NixOS folks to do here.
