An invalid checksum error appears in the launcher log when downloading a new version

The bug

When I downloaded and launched 1.16.5 Release Candidate 1 for the first time, the following error was printed in the launcher log. (However, the corresponding game log in the minecraft/logs folder did not contain any mention of this error.)

Download from https://launchermeta.mojang.com/v1/packages/3a5d110a6ab102c7083bae4296d2de4b8fcf92eb/1.16.json had invalid checksum! Expected: 3a5d110a6ab102c7083bae4296d2de4b8fcf92eb got: 7a46ac95adabfc3b83cfe5c12d7ee291b133e6a2

Despite this error, the game still launched normally. As requested in this comment from MCL-13885, I will upload 1.16.json and version_manifest_v2.json to this report.
