[Flutter] package_info_plus error: 'FlutterMacOS/FlutterMacOS.h' file not found

1. Create a new Flutter project with flutter create demo
2. Build & run the new project for macOS desktop -- builds OK
3. Add package_info_plus and use it in the app to show the version number
4. Repeat step 2 -- fails!
5. Create a public repository with this demo project with a GitHub actions runner trying to reproduce the failure I'm seeing locally -- builds OK

So, something is going wrong in my local environment.
