Per discussion in that thread, this issue is only occurring with pnpm >= 6.23.0, which made this change:

The path to the node executable that executes pnpm should not be added to the PATH, when running scripts.

Adding scripts-prepend-node-path=true to the project's .npmrc restores the more hnvm-friendly behavior that we had with older pnpm versions.
