I cannot reproduce the issue on MacOS 14.6.1 (M1). But I also build with some additional flags so maybe you can try the same

colcon build  --packages-skip-by-dep python_qt_binding --cmake-args -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DINSTALL_EXAMPLES=ON -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix):$(brew --prefix qt@5):$(brew --prefix [email protected])  -DBUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DFORCE_BUILD_VENDOR_PKG=ON

I also have these in my ~/.profile

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/bin:$(brew --prefix python)/libexec/bin:$(brew --prefix)/lib/python3.11/site-packages:$PATH"
export Qt5_DIR=$(brew --prefix qt@5)/lib/cmake

I encountered the same error, and the reason appears to be some Qt headers from Qt installed from homebrew and Qt installed from the installer are conflicting.

I simply force uninstall the homebrew version and the problem is gone.

PS: I am an insanely random person from the internet. No idea what's this project, but Google bring me here.
