What did you do?

In the following module

-- mod/go.mod --
module example.com/foo

go 1.21
-- mod/foo/README.md --
empty

run

cd mod
go list -e -json=ImportPath,Error ./foo

What did you expect to see?

{
	"ImportPath": "./foo",
	"Error": {
		"ImportStack": [],
		"Pos": "",
		"Err": "no Go files in /Users/matloob/Desktop/mod/foo"
	}
}

What did you see instead?

{
	"ImportPath": "./foo",
	"Error": {
		"ImportStack": [],
		"Pos": "",
		"Err": "no Go files in "
	}

I think they're related, but I think this issue would show up even with the fix Alan suggested if -json didn't contain ImportPath because we would zero out the ImportPath field if it's not requested.

cmd/go/internal/list: make a copy of the package before zeroing fields
a64d5be 
go list -json=<fields> zeroes out the fields in the package struct
that aren't specified. The problem with this is that some of the fields
have references into other fields: specifically, the NoGoError's
Error() function accesses the package struct's Dir field, so if we
clear it out the error will just print out "no Go files in" without a
directory. Instead, make a copy of the package struct before we zero
out the fields so the original values are still there.

For #64946
