I'm afraid that it's a serious problem.

Homebrew has an eager upgrade policy akin to a rolling release
distribution.  AFAIU, every macOS user running Homebrew will be unable
to build Emacs after having run "brew upgrade", which many users do
routinely.

See:

[I unfortunately don't use an up-to-date Homebrew on my macOS machine so
I can't help test any solution.]
