I cannot reproduce this on macOS Big Sur + the same Node version.

Output of the command is the following:

$ pnpm -g ls

Legend: production dependency, optional only, dev only

/Users/<user>/Library/pnpm/global/5

dependencies:
pnpm 7.3.0

I've had a very similar bug when upgrading from 7.5.0 to 7.11.0, using a turborepo monorepo and remix. Every package was working as intended, bug remix failed to start with this log:
