Ok so on a whim I went and started bisecting my init file, and lo and behold it turns out there is some sort of subtle interaction with doom mode-line. Specifically, I configure it via:

(use-package-select doom-modeline
  :after all-the-icons
  :hook (after-init . doom-modeline-mode)
  :config
  (column-number-mode 1)
  :custom
  (doom-modeline-icon t)
  (doom-modeline-project-detection ‘project) <——— commenting out this line fixes the problem
  (doom-modeline-major-mode-icon t)
  (doom-modeline-major-mode-color-icon t)
  (doom-modeline-buffer-state-icon t)
  (doom-modeline-buffer-modification-icon t)
  (doom-modeline-unicode-fallback nil)
  (doom-modeline-modal-icon t)
  (doom-modeline-minor-modes nil)
  (doom-modeline-indent-info nil)
  (doom-modeline-lsp t))

So somehow this new eql change is related to the project root detection? I tried byte-compiling doom modeling again to see if perhaps there is an additional warning triggered, but the only warning emitted was

In doom-modeline--project-root:
doom-modeline-core.el:1193:26: Warning: ‘project-roots’ is an obsolete function (as of 0.3.0); use ‘project-root’ instead.

From this function:

(defun doom-modeline--project-root ()
  "Get the path to the root of your project.
Return nil if no project was found."
  (or doom-modeline--project-root
      (setq doom-modeline--project-root
            (pcase doom-modeline-project-detection
              ('ffip
               (when (fboundp 'ffip-get-project-root-directory)
                 (let ((inhibit-message t))
                   (ffip-get-project-root-directory))))
              ('projectile
               (when (fboundp 'projectile-project-root)
                 (projectile-project-root)))
              ('project
               (when (fboundp 'project-current)
                 (when-let ((project (project-current)))
                   (car (project-roots project))))))))) <——————— here
