test_venv failure output is inscrutable #93957
Description
With this Dockerfile, I can confirm the proposed fix in Setuptools has the desired effect:
FROM jaraco/multipy-tox
RUN apt install -y libarchive-tools
RUN apt install -y build-essential gdb lcov pkg-config libbz2-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev libgdbm-compat-dev liblzma-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline6-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev lzma lzma-dev tk-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev
RUN wget -O - https://github.com/python/cpython/archive/refs/heads/3.9.zip | bsdtar -xf -
WORKDIR cpython-3.9
RUN sh ./configure --prefix /opt/python
RUN make install
RUN chmod u+x /opt/python/lib/python3.9/test/ziptestdata/exe_with_*
WORKDIR /
RUN /opt/python/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
RUN /opt/python/bin/python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/pypa/setuptools@bugfix/3383-cpython-sensitive-tests
CMD /opt/python/bin/python3 -m test...
Unfortunately, it also creates its own regression in test_venv:
$ docker run -it -v /Users/jaraco/p/pypa/setuptools:/src @$(docker build -q .) /opt/python/bin/py
thon3 -m test test_venv

And annoyingly, that error message is all but worthless for diagnosis.
