VS2022 Cross-compile via WSL2 fails (libcmake error?)

I'm trying to compile a fairly straightforward C++ project into ELF format for containerization, and I actually had it working briefly, but now, when I try to build ANY C++ code via WSL2, it fails in the CMake stage, before it can even configure itself. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2022 17.4, and even rolled back the latest Windows 11 update from yesterday, just in case, but I still get the same error implying that a cmake library isn't loading properly (although I've even installed the MS cmake in my WSL environment):

I've tried deleting and rebuilding the cmake cache, I've tweaked the cmake presets, I've followed the MS instructions on using WSL2 to compile for Linux, but it never works any more.

After poking around the MS site(s) long enough, an answer scurried out from behind a shrubbery...

The VS 17.4 update (11/30/2022) killed the cmake/wsl integration. So, until they sort that out, I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall 17.2
