[BUG] Curly brackets in pathname on VMware virtualenv mess up build process

setuptools version

setuptools==69.0.1 (also with the newest 69.0.2)

Python version

Python 3.11

OS

Windows 11 x64 on VM

Additional environment information

No response

Description

When using python -m build on a VMware virtual machine the f-string solving is caught off guard since the path contains curly brackets: "C:\SnapVolumesTemp\MountPoints\{45c63495-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}\{79DE0690-9470-4166-B9EE-4548DC416BBD}\SVROOT\Users\[...]". I think we can agree that this is an improper and inconvenient pathname, but I wondered if it can be solved in build anyway.

Expected behavior

successfully build the package, just like it happens on a non-virtual machine.

How to Reproduce

python -m build

Output

Start with subst_vars in setuptools/_distutils/util.py, where the traceback shows the pathname is processed by format_map. Reproduce with python -m build using a Windows path containing curly brackets, then verify that the package builds successfully without treating the pathname contents as a variable.
