Problem & expected behavior (under 200 words)

If you run npm run start (e.g. run tsx index.js), you will see that the ESM file required from the CJS passthrough logs {} from import.meta:

> @ start /home/projects/node-8eez9hly
> tsx index.js

Logging import meta from the CJS passthrough!
Import meta: {}

If you use regular Node via npm run start:node (e.g. node index.js), you will see:

> start:node
> node index.js

Logging import meta from the CJS passthrough!
Import meta: [Object: null prototype] {
  dirname: '/home/projects/node-8eez9hly',
  filename: '/home/projects/node-8eez9hly/logImportMeta.js',
  resolve: [Function: resolve],
  url: 'file:///home/projects/node-8eez9hly/logImportMeta.js'
}
