Screencast of failing Touch ID registration

WebAuthn platform authenticator registration in macOS 12.0, Safari 15.0, on a new MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro appears to be broken. Triggering `navigator.credentials.create()` on a button click prompts me to allow use of Touch ID as expected, and when I click OK I'm prompted to interact with Touch ID as expected. Tapping my Touch ID sensor, though, shows a "The operation cannot be completed" modal, and a `NotAllowedError` exception is thrown.

I tested this scenario on https://example.simplewebauthn.dev. This exact same code works fine on my 2019 Intel i7 MBP - I am able to register Touch ID as expected.

These are the registration options I passed to `navigator.credentials.create()` (I used my @simplewebauthn/browser library to convert some of these values to buffers as needed before making the actual WebAuthn API request):
