Unable to use multi-line environment variables

We have an ECS task into which we've inserted a private key as a multi-line environment variable from a secret store. To retain the newlines, we wrap the environment variable in quotes inside of this actions:
environment-variables: |
PRIVATE_KEY="{{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY }}"
Because of how the action parses environment variables (by newlines), it will fail to see this multi-line value as a single variable:
Error: Cannot parse the environment variable '***'. Environment variable pairs must be of the form NAME=value.
Is there a way this scenario can be accommodated?

@bachya pretty sure your issue is that GH Actions is masking secrets.PRIVATE_KEY
automatically.
