I fixed this by upgrading the Homebrew version of node

brew update
brew doctor
brew upgrade node
brew link --overwrite node

The last part brew link --overwrite node is so that /usr/local/bin/node is symlinked with the new Homebrew version of node, and not the previous version.

The problem disappeared after upgrading Xcode and Command Line Tools via the App Store app, and restarting the computer.
