Duplicate of #107888. Buildbot was just updated to newly released macOS 14 Sonoma which has this change in OS behavior on Apple Silicon Macs but not Intel Macs.

I see this was applied to main and the 3.11 branch, but not the 3.12 branch. Is that just a matter of a tight bottleneck in the run-up to the 3.12 release? I think it would be a shame to exclude this fix to a test case.

There is a 3.12 backport PR pending but has not yet been merged for 3.12.0 final.
