MSB4006 Circular dependency error

[surayya-MS]

Issue Description

Recently I came across circular dependency error that should not be thrown.
SimpleMultiProcTest.zip
here is a sample of 5 projects dependencies:

graph TD
    ProjectA --> ProjectB
    ProjectA --> ProjectC
    ProjectC --> ProjectD
    ProjectC --> ProjectE

Loading

When trying to build ProjectA there is sometimes MSB4006 error

Steps to Reproduce

1. try to build ProjectA.csproj a few times until you see the error
2. error:

dotnet build ProjectA.csproj               
Restore complete (0,3s)
  ProjectE failed with 1 error(s) (0,1s)
    /usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/9.0.301/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2138,5): error MSB4006: There is a circular dependency in the target dependency graph involving target "ResolveProjectReferences".
  ProjectD failed with 1 error(s) (0,1s)
    /usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/9.0.301/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2138,5): error MSB4006: There is a circular dependency in the target dependency graph involving target "ResolveProjectReferences".

Build failed with 2 error(s) in 0,9s

Expected Behavior

there shouldn't be any circular dependency error

Actual Behavior

MSB4006 is thrown sometimes
