Description of the bug:

The runfiles tree creation currently fails on Windows.

The error is:
ERROR: ../BUILD.bazel:1:10: Creating runfiles tree bazel-out/x64_windows-fastbuild/bin/....exe.runfiles failed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: .../MANIFEST (No such file or directory), However the MANIFEST file is created and exists after the action crashes.

It started in release 6.0.0-pre.20221020.1, and a git bisect shows that #16477 is the culprit.

I will analyze the commit tomorrow, and see what might be the cause

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Create an actions.run that use a py_binary tool
