Switching to using the azuread provider is a workaround for now.

This also works:

data external account_info {
  program                      = [
                                 "az",
                                 "ad",
                                 "signed-in-user",
                                 "show",
                                 "--query",
                                 "{object_id:id}",
                                 "-o",
                                 "json",
                                 ]
}

output user_object_id {
    value = data.external.account_info.result.object_id
}
