There are multiple issues for what looks like the same error, going to use this one to track the investigation.

This error appears to be an issue that occurs in pip 22.0, ~which was added to the the GHA ubuntu image ~a week ago~. Looks like 22.0 has been included in some image for quite a while, I'm not sure exactly what changed yet.

I'm testing out an update to ion-java's workflow to use setup-python to use a fixed python version, which also forces a pip update, installing 24.0 (at the time of writing).
