Distro list expects UTF16 from WSL even if WSL_UTF8 is 1 #8881

Type: Bug

VS Code suddenly stopped connecting to my WSL2 distros. I found out my recent setting of setx WSL_UTF8 1 prevents VS Code from listing the distros and I am guessing it is because the js function VS Code uses to list distros requires UTF16 encoding. A more detailed explanation with pictures is at Stack Overflow

Is this maybe related to #8924 ?

Similar behavior, but not sure if the root cause is the same
