Comment (by Themanwithoutaplan):

 This is what I have installed:
 {{{
   py312-pip @24.0_0 (active)
   py312-platformdirs @4.2.1_0
   py312-platformdirs @4.2.2_0 (active)
   py312-pycryptodome @3.19.0_0 (active)
   py312-setuptools @69.5.1_0 (active)
   py312-toml @0.10.2_0 (active)
   py312-virtualenv @20.26.2_0 (active)
 }}}

 And I don't have any relevant config files and have been using MacPorts to
 drive multiple Pythons (with tox) for years.

 I have no problems if I use `python3.12 -m venv test`

 But look at what happens if I pass the `-v` flag:

 With it, pip at 24.0 gets installed, without it, pip at 22.3.1. That's what I
 called weird™.

 I've just tried uninstalling virtualenv from MacPorts and installing it as
 my user as that seeding directory makes me suspicious:

 So, the problem **can't** be with MacPorts (I never thought it could be).
 The timestamp on this directory is 2020, which is when I got this
 computer. I removed it and lo and behold, pip at 24.0 gets installed.

 This folder gets created by virtualenv itself. I wonder what's causing it
 to go stale?

 Any sorry for the noise and thanks for your help!
