... this seems to be the fault of pkgs.unstable.powershell. This is the relevant part of my overlay.nix:
[
# powershellOverlay
(final: prev:
let
__pwsh_profile = final.writeText "FIRST" ''
# this file is managed by Nix
# see the below file vv to make edits
. /etc/net.helpimnotdrowning/pwsh/profile.ps1
'';
__pwsh_version = "7.6.7";
in {
powershell = prev.powershell.overrideAttrs(old: rec {
version = __pwsh_version;
passthru.shellPath = old.passthru.shellPath;
passthru.sources.x86_64-linux = prev.fetchurl {
url = "https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v${__pwsh_version}/powershell-${__pwsh_version}-linux-x64.tar.gz";
hash = "sha256-aJb546awo1S/Rwg1qW2nbS+AHNUNzwR618RWO/k79DE=";
};
src = passthru.sources.x86_64-linux;
postInstall = (old.postInstall or "") + ''
install -Dm444 ${__pwsh_profile} $out/share/powershell/profile.ps1
'';
});
})
]
Using pkgs.powershell instead of pkgs.unstable.powershell (they are both overlayed) in my configuration.nix makes all of the issues go away. The PowerShell definition does take curl as an input (which would have been unstable's curl), but wouldn't nix/git/qemu/etc all use their appropriate curls instead of taking PowerShell's ? Do I misunderstand how this is supposed to work?

PowerShell 7.6.8 is released on GitHub and will be available via WinGet soon.
It's a maintenance release that moves the .NET SDK to 10.0.402 and somewhat ironically removes the update notification feature from PowerShell, per customer feedback. 🗣️

[PowerShell] process terminated totalwidthと表示されてクラッシュする
PowerShell 7.6.6を起動すると、「process terminated totalwidth...」などというメッセージが表示されて、すぐにクラッシュしてしまい、起動できないという問題が発生しました。
上の画面が表示された後、勝手に画面が消えてしまい、何の作業もできない状態です。
少し焦りましたが、7.6.7にアップデートすることであっさり解決しました。PowerShell自体を起動することができないので、コマンドを打ってアップデートすることはできないので、以下のURLからPowerShell-7.6.7-win-x64.msiをダウンロードして、アップデートすれば解決すると思います。

アップデート文字が非ASCIIだと何かの長さがマイナスになりPowerShellが起動しなくなるバグに遭遇した

PowerShell (Windows PowerShellではない方) でPowerShell本体のアップデート通知を表示する際に行の高さを計算する処理にバグがあり、英語版以外だと起動と同時にクラッシュする問題が起きている。
最新バージョンにアップグレードすれば通知が出ないので直るが (最新バージョンでもこの問題は残っているので、今後アップデート通知が来たらまた起きることになる) 、winget upgradeでのアップグレードが失敗し、アンインストール・インストールの手順を踏まないといけなかった。なんでこう色々お粗末なの…
