We are not sure what's going on, but if we disable the redhat.vscode-redhat-account extension, we are able to load our extension just fine.

If we try to use our Ansible Lightspeed: Sign in with Red Hat, nothing happens and we get the same error message in the console.

Our dev version works fine and we've recently pushed the following change that may explain why: ansible/vscode-ansible@8ce13bd

The error is raised here microsoft/vscode@4daf557
