### What happened?

We upgraded our test cluster to `1.28.8` (GKE `1.28.8-gke.1095000`) and noticed that some of our tests began to time out when watching for events that never arrived. 

Upon investigation, it appears that there is a regression in the deprecated path-based watch API for at least `namespaces` e.g. `http://localhost:8001/api/v1/watch/namespaces/<name>`. We have not been able to reproduce this with any other resource type.

When creating a watch for a namespace (see `how to reproduce`) we see the initial `added` event, but then we do not see subsequent events if we modify the namespace e.g. add a label or annotation. 

### What did you expect to happen?

I would expect to see events when the namespace is altered. E.g. adding a label should produce a `MODIFIED` event with the contents.

### How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

1. Create a new test namespace e.g. `kubectl create namespace test-namespace`
2. Create a proxy to the master `kubectl proxy`
3. Curl the watch path of the namespace that has been created e.g. `http://localhost:8001/api/v1/watch/namespaces/test-namespace`
4. In another shell, modify the namespace to add a label to it.
5. Observe that there is no modified event in the watch.

### Anything else we need to know?

It is understood that the `/watch` based paths are and have been for some time deprecated, we are working on moving to use the watch query param instead.
