 Hello @nickfmc,

 Welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

 As you noted, #61661 resolved a different specificity issue.

 The issue you reported here was already reported in
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/63712 Gutenberg issue
 63712] and fixed in Gutenberg. The bug fix changes are being tracked in
 #61704.

 What is the fix? It reverts the change that wrapped `body` in `:root
 :where(body)`, as that change inadvertently increased CSS specificity.
 Details are in #61704.

 I invite you to join the discussion there as well as test it if you're
 available.

 When will the fix ship? It'll ship in 6.6.2. It already shipped in the
 Gutenberg plugin.

 Thanks again for reporting this issue.
