Research direction
Start with Lib/test/test_threading.py at InterruptMainTests.test_interrupt_main_subthread and the wait and start paths in Lib/threading.py shown in the traceback. Reproduce the ARM64 macOS nogil buildbot failure if possible, then inspect linked PR gh-118485 and the related discussion. Done means the test no longer reports the unlocked-lock error without regressing threading behavior.
