Unable to run pants 2.25.0.dev0 due to "No interpreter compatible with the requested constraints was found:" error

[huonw]

Describe the bug

Running pants 2.25.0.dev0 upgrades the version of Python used, but this doesn't seem to have worked completely, actually attempting to run Pants gives an error like:

Failed to find compatible interpreter on path /Users/huon/Library/Caches/nce/7af7058f7c268b4d87ed7e08c2c7844ef8460863b3e679db3afdce8bb1eedfae/cpython-3.11.9+20240415-aarch64-apple-darwin-install_only.tar.gz/python/bin/python3.11.

Isolates your Pants from the elements.

Please select from the following boot commands:

<default> (when SCIE_BOOT is not set in the environment)  Detects the current Pants installation and launches it.
bootstrap-tools                                           Introspection tools for the Pants bootstrap process.
update                                                    Update scie-pants.

You can select a boot command by setting the SCIE_BOOT environment variable.

(Filed here not scie-pants because I'm guessing this might be some metadata in the Pants wheel? It seems like the interpreter is configured correctly.)
