[BUG] BREAKING REGRESSION 8.16.0: npx local-package breaks

[jlarmstrongiv]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@clis%2flocal-cli-package - Not found
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404  '@clis/local-cli-package@latest' is not in this registry.
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /Users/user/.npm/_logs/2022-08-05T23_08_46_165Z-debug-0.log

Expected Behavior

Within an npm workspace, run npx @clis/local-cli-package as expected. Attached is a complete reproduction that works with npm@8.15.1, but errors on npm@8.16.0. Likely caused by #5244

Steps To Reproduce

1. Download local-npx-scripts.zip
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run error
4. If using npm@8.16.0, record error. If running npm@npm@8.15.1, passes as expected
