[BUG] Cannot read property 'resolve' of undefined on 64-bit npm installation

What / Why

I'm running an app workshop with a node example app. It runs fine with npm on OSX/Linux, but the 64 bit installer gives us this error. Removing the 64-bit installer and installing the 32-bit installer resolves this. I'm not the author of the app or the workshop, just reporting this in case it's an npm bug.

When

Given this example app: https://github.com/miroslawmajka/sample-express-app
Run npm install on the root gives:
