This should be fixed by #536.

I'm seeing all kinds of IO issues on macOS arm64 VMs, this might be an infra issue.

Filed bazelbuild/continuous-integration#2153

[sgowroji]

Adding one more IO error CI failure from BazelBench on MacOS

Closing this issue as we are not seeing this failure currently in the Examples CI https://buildkite.com/bazel/bazel-bazel-examples/builds/4216
