Turns out that copilot agents actually just support Linux runners (and to a limited extend Windows): https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/customize-the-agent-environment

Turns out that copilot agents actually just support Linux runners and to a limited extend Windows runners, Mac is not supported at all:
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/customize-the-agent-environment
Furthermore Matrix jobs are not supported for this particular task.
It looks like one should question the suggestions Copilot agents propose, even about their own setup.
Furthermore it's not sufficient if you ask Copilot agent explicitly to verify the correctness of these changes, one has to verify them manually again.
The result is that we again just run on Linux.
But we can remove the steps that the agent does anyway, like checking out the code.
