Rosetta 2 Monterey apps crashing

After updating to monterey on my M1 MacBook Air several of my intel apps crash with a similar message:

rosetta error: /var/db/oah/279281325309952_279281325309952/ca9c6db8c6ca58a00098758b13ed3ed01a4e2ea264a40f1638a3d956d664d084/steam_osx2.aot: attachment of code signature supplement failed: 1

So far this has happened with the BalenaEtcher disk imaging tool, Steam, and the Raspberry Pi imager, these all seem to be apps that use JIT (they all have embedded javascript engines) so I think it's probably a problem with that.

Is there any way to clear translation cache to potentially fix this or am I looking at a macOS reinstall?

Is there a fix or am I just going to have to wait till the next macOS update?

Any help would be appreciated.

See if there is anything here—

"If you look inside macOS, or in the log, you won’t see Rosetta, as internally it’s known as OAH. All its components are stored on the Data volume, not in the sealed System, as it’s only installed on demand, and can be updated outside of normal macOS updates. Its executable code is thus stored in the path /Library/Apple/, with its components in /usr/libexec/oah, and in /usr/share/rosetta"

I would check with the respective developers.
