Bug description
Since the recent changes to gitpod/workspace-full, doing pip install -e no longer works in my repo. The same problem exists for gitpod/workspace-python. The legacy-dazzle-v1 works fine. pip install without -e works fine.
Possibly related:
#679 (I saw the same error at some stage while fiddling around trying to get it working)
#664
#655
Steps to reproduce
Here's my repo: https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro. You'll find it all works fine if you pip install -e . (which is run in .gitpod.yml already), but only because I've specified image: gitpod/workspace-full:legacy-dazzle-v1. If we try instead with workspace-full or workspace-python I will instead get the following error. All dependencies install fine, but then it's the package itself that fails.
I'm guessing this is due to the combination of --user and -e, as in pypa/pip#7953, but unfortunately none of the workarounds there are working. As above, this used to work fine before the change to dazzle v2.

Expected behavior
Python package should install successfully.
Example repository
I tried making a minimal example here but this doesn't demonstrate the bug - pip install -e . works fine there. I'm not sure why this one works but my complete kedro example doesn't.
Anything else?
