Python modules threading and turtle unexpected behavior on Mac OS 13.5.1

Question

I'm working on a script to help me grade student homework assignments. They may contain long-running turtle tasks in addition to other code. I want to run that code inside a local scope where I can override various turtle functions to make the code easier to grade. When I tried to do so, I encountered unexpected errors.

I want to process the turtle tasks and run my unit test suite. I created the following small example minimum_reproducible_example to showcase my issue.

#mre.py
import turtle
import threading

def run_turtle_code():
    t = turtle.Turtle()
    for _ in range(4):
        t.forward(100)
        t.right(90)
    turtle.done()

def run_turtle_in_thread():
    thread = threading.Thread(target=run_turtle_code)
    thread.start()
    thread.join()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_turtle_in_thread()

When I try to run the above code example in any of the latest released Python versions for 3.6-3.10, I get the same error:

I'm running Mac OS: 13.5.1 Any help would be appreciated. I don't see this as a multi-threading issue, but I didn't see a tag for the built-in python threading module.
