"Unrecognized named-value: 'env'. Located at position 1 within expression" when used in reusable workflow jobs

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Usage of env in workflow that uses reusable workflow generates “Unrecognized named-value: ‘env’. Located at position 1 within expression”

To Reproduce Use the following yml:

name: Test Workflow

on:
  push:

env:
  SOMETHING: 1000

  test:
    name: call workflow
    uses: ./.github/workflows/callee.yml
    secrets: inherit
    with:
      run_url: "{run_url}"
      message: ${{ env.SOMETHING }}

Expected behavior env.SOMETHING is usable and can be passed into reusable workflow

Actual behavior

The workflow is not valid. .github/workflows/create-branch.yml (Line: #, Col: ##): Unrecognized named-value: 'env'. Located at position 1 within expression: env.SOMETHING
