Install failure with some versions of Composer 2

[superterran]

We have a deployment image that installs composer2 from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar before installation. The version that's currently installed is...

$ composer -v
   ______
  / ____/___  ____ ___  ____  ____  ________  _____
 / /   / __ \/ __ `__ \/ __ \/ __ \/ ___/ _ \/ ___/
/ /___/ /_/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ (__  )  __/ /

                    /_/
Composer version 2.1-dev (2.1-dev+d7154c2a72101b40c0f93daeea9b81dd484129c3) 2021-11-02 13:39:04

When I try to install Magento 2.4.3 from composer, the installation fails when I get to this dependency version verifier package with the following error:

$ composer install

I believe the issue is that the version parsing this module is performing isn't taking into account the -dev suffix in the version, and errors out as it cannot identify this composer version. Replacing composer with this version https://getcomposer.org/download/2.1.12/composer.phar which reports as Composer version 2.1.12 2021-11-09 16:02:04 allows me to complete the installation. I believe the logic here needs to match even with these version suffixes.
