That is weird... If you try to run cargo install cargo-watch again, do you get the same crash?

I've tried cargo +stable install cargo-watch as you did and it does not crash for me.

Possibly relevant: #124466 and #112521

Yes, this is the sort of error I'd expect if the thread was forcibly terminated. However, I'm not sure why that would happen in this case.

Is there any security or sandboxing features that could be involved?
