error: profile manifest '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/teto/profile/manifest.json' has unsupported version 3

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Trying to install a program on nixos with nix 2.21.2 I get

[nix-shell:~/.cache/nixpkgs-review/pr-307576-1]$ nix profile install ./results/warp-terminal
error: profile manifest '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/teto/profile/manifest.json' has unsupported version 3

Describe the solution you'd like
The message could be improved first to mention if it's unsupported because tool old or too recent. Alternatively list supported versions.
Also it could show a way out (downgrade/upgrade nix version).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can't edit the file because store is readonly else I would have set the manifest to 2.

Additional context
I am a bit at a loss there as I am using the same nix throughout, so the one that created that manifest now tells me it can't list it ?

This is surprising because manifest version 3 has been supported since Nix 2.20.

@teto is this still a problem?
All older versions of manifest.json should be supported by newer versions of Nix. Nix will automatically upgrade the manifest.json if needed. It just doesn't downgrade when using an older version of Nix.

If it's still a problem it might help to list the version of Nix:

$ nix profile install ./results/warp-terminal
error: profile manifest '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/teto/profile/manifest.json' has unsupported version 3
$ nix --version

it still happens, on several computers (more or less same config). I've listed the version in my previous ticket but I was just able to reproduce with nix (Nix) 2.22.0. I use home-manager if that helps.
Here is the manifest. If that helps I can reduce it:
