 Hi all!

 I hope I was able to debug / hypothesize this issue correctly.

 In [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/61627 #61627] a new method
 `wp_get_wp_version()` was introduced and simultaneously used in `src/wp-
 admin/includes/update-core.php` for
 `_preload_old_requests_classes_and_interfaces()`.

 I ''think'' the new function is not yet loaded correctly during the update
 process because updating from a stable WordPress version to Nightly,
 either via WP-CLI or via the `WordPress Beta Tester` plugin, causes an
 Error.

 Log and stacktrace from WP-CLI:

 Reproduction steps:
 1. Run WordPress 6.6.2
 2. (Option A) Attempt to update via WP-CLI with the following command: `wp
 core update '--version=nightly' --force`
 3. (Option B) Attempt to update to nightly using the
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/ `WordPress Beta
 Tester`] plugin (make sure to set it to update from `Bleeding Edge` and
 not `Stable point`).
 4. Notice the fatal error.
