Severe regression making WSL2, recent versions unusable--breaks vite's HMR and get fixed by turning wifi off/on (super weird)

Repro Steps

• You need vite (5.1.6) app and a framework that employs HMR, e.g. SvelteKit
• The app needs to fetch something externally, e.g. from a db and after an npm update and vite restart, the whole app produces weird errors not able to get backend data (see below)
• The only fix is turning on and of wifi, I have rock-solid Intel Wifi cards

READ: I tested all possible parts, SvelteKit, vite, DB, and whatever and once I tested the app on a spare notebook which hasn't updated to the latest WSL version it worked flawlessly, unfort. IDK that old version anymore but I think I have never updated WSL (2) on that notebook. Once I updated to the latest version on that notebook, it broke as well 😒

I cannot provide a better reproduction, slimming down my app to some repro repo would take 10x more time than just spinning up some real Linux VM somewhere and continue my work there. So, you guys needs to create this repro repo yourself and/or maybe this behavior sounds familiar to you and you have some guess s where we can look at. Again, I cannot create the repro without any commitment from your side that someone gets really involved.

This is severe because it's a dealbreaker and so hard to reproduce and debug. Happy to help where I can and good luck.

Edit: I could offer doing a kind of git bisect, pls let me know how I can install older versions of wsl and I can try to find the 'bad' version that intro'd the regression.

Edit2: FWIW, I have the project folder in WSL2 and not in Windows

Expected Behavior

no errors after an npm update and vite restart

Actual Behavior

in that vite/SvelteKit app in Chrome Inspector, I get:

[HMR][Svelte] Unrecoverable HMR error in <Layout>: next update will trigger a full reload

then errors such as

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '$$'

Again, the cause is WSL2, recent versions
