Gregor, thanks very much for the info! At least it ruled some things out, but I have still no idea what is causing this and it’s very difficult do the needed poking around without a similar setup (macOS 14 without Rosetta installed). I’ll have to ponder on this, if this really is caused by some change by macOS 14, a solution must be found sooner rather than later.
An alternative way to install GRASS with native architecture for ARM is with MacPorts [1]. It does, however, involve some Terminal-batics! If you are in need for other GIS software like QGIS in particular, MacPorts is currently, in my experience, a most solid solution with available GRASS plugin (as there is no native official QGIS.app bundle for ARM).
