World age increment error for HTTP.jl or Plots.jl on julia >=1.12

[benlorenz]

Version 1.3.1 (probably #53, cc @timholy) has broken precompilation of HTTP.jl and Plots.jl on julia 1.12-beta1 and nightly (1.13.0-DEV.371):

If I downgrade PrecompileTools to 1.3.0 both packages precompile and load fine.
