Ah, yeah. That was 2.71 actually:

1.72 seems to have been released with some fixes from that one. Per
that thread, the related problem you noticed was with m4, and apparently
it was because macOS ships a version from 2006 (1.4.7). Here on Debian
bookworm I have m4 1.4.19; maybe macOS has updated its copy now?
