Meson coverage build may fail under Ubuntu 24.04

The coverage build is failing on at least one PR:

FWIW I think this started when ubuntu-latest switched from 22.04 to 24.04

I've seen some reports in lcov about this like https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov/issues/296 although I'm not sure there is a clear resolution just yet

Hmm...this is still failing on main:
