Description
Most likely not related to the ish kernel, more to tmux version 3.2 being supplied by Alpine v3.14
This is not occurring with v 1.2.2 only with TestFligh version starting with v180.
With iSH v180 if you use Alpine v3.12 (tmux 3.1c)
plugins are handled as would be expected.
@emkey1 suggested it might be related to syscall 216 not being stubbed
I don't quite get that suggestion, since with older tmux versions plugins work as expected.

Research direction
Reproduce the crash in iSH v180 with Alpine v3.14 and tmux 3.2, then compare it with Alpine v3.12 and tmux 3.1c, where plugins work. Start by investigating the handling of syscall 216 and capture the tmux startup failure. Done means tmux plugins start without crashing in the affected configuration.
