Regression: `winget pin add --id` is broken with sideBySide experimental feature

[mdanish-kh]

Brief description of your issue

winget pin add with the --id filter does not work in the v1.8.924-preview build. Without the --id parameter the command works as expected

Steps to reproduce

v1.7.10861
 ~ winget pin add --id Discord.Discord
Found Discord [Discord.Discord]
Pin added successfully
 ~ winget pin remove --id Discord.Discord
Found Discord [Discord.Discord]
Pin removed successfully

[update winget to preview build]

[!IMPORTANT] Enable side by side experimental feature

[pin without --id works]

 ~ winget pin add Discord.Discord
Found Discord [Discord.Discord]
Pin added successfully

[pin with --id does not work]

 ~ winget -v
v1.8.924-preview
 ~ winget pin add --id Discord.Discord
Found Discord [Discord.Discord]
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:

Found Discord [Discord.Discord]
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:

Testing this further...this only occurs when I enable the sideBySide experimental feature. Setting the experimental flag to false resolves the issue

Circling back on this, I cannot reproduce now after #4432

[mdanish-kh]

Just tried it on preview release v1.9.1551-preview that shipped with the changes in PR https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/pull/4432. The issue's resolved at my end as well!
