 Tested patch
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/40477/40477.diff
 40477.diff] and verified it is working.

 Testing scenario:

 - Running [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop?tab=readme-ov-
 file#local-development Dockerized wordpress-develop GitHub mirror].
 - Run `grunt
 patch:https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/40477/40477.diff`
 (from [https://github.com/wordpress/grunt-patch-wordpress?tab=readme-ov-
 file#apply-a-patch-from-the-command-line these instructions]) to apply
 patch.
 - Install [https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-log/ Email Log] plugin to

 Logs admin screen ✅. (full curl request below)


 {{{
 curl --user "test_user:loUEbMZDT4Cf3cZQNy6K7CDi" \
      -X POST \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d
 '{"username":"larry","password":"secret","email":"larry at example.com"}' \
      http://localhost:8889/wp-json/wp/v2/users

 }}}

 I can not speak to whether the code introduced is ideal, but it addresses
 the issue. Thanks for the patch @nikunj8866
