There is a bit of a mismatch printing this to stderr when just above
was printed to stdout.
Would there be anything wrong with printing that earlier message to stderr also? Would solve this problem #5381 (comment)

@oliver-sanders - Any reason not to print the earlier msg to stderr?

Eh, not really, those messages are informational, this message conveys an actual error.

Unfortunately the GUI and TUI are only regurgitating stderr. We should find a way for them to include the useful info about which versions are flying about IMHO

Fair point, but a widespread issue not related to this PR.
I don't think stdout/err are a great interface for Tui/GUI, but short of a Python API (that allows Cylc version changing) I can't think of a better option that isn't tons of work.
In this case, the version compat issue should also be handled better in at the UI end as we intend to implement upgrade logic there.
