Rebuild Fails in ASP.NET Project Using .NET Core 6.0 When Using bundleconfig.json, but Clean and Build Succeed

[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]
In Visual Studio 2022, when attempting to rebuild an ASP.NET project that uses .NET Core 6.0 and bundleconfig.json, the rebuild process fails. However, performing a separate **clean** operation followed by a **build** works as expected. This behaviour suggests an issue with how Visual Studio handles the rebuild process in projects with bundleconfig.json.

```
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error (active) System.InvalidOperationException: No file exists for the asset at either location 'wwwroot\bundle\js\<somefile>.js' or 'wwwroot\bundle\js\<somefile>.js'.
at Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticWebAssets.Tasks.StaticWebAsset.ComputeFingerprintAndIntegrity(String identity, String originalItemSpec)
at Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticWebAssets.Tasks.DefineStaticWebAssets.Execute() WorkFlow.Web C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\9.0.100\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.StaticWebAssets\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.StaticWebAssets.targets 662
```

**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Open Visual Studio 2022 with an ASP.NET Core project targeting .NET Core 6.0.
1. Include a bundleconfig.json file in the project for bundling and minification.
1. Right-click the project in Solution Explorer and select Rebuild.

**Expected Behaviour:**
The rebuild operation should succeed without errors, just as performing a clean and build does.

**Actual Behaviour:**
The rebuild operation fails, often without clear explanation, while clean and build separately succeed.

**Steps Tried to Resolve**
1. Verified that bundleconfig.json is properly configured and valid.
1. Verified Visual Studio 2022 to the latest version (17.12.2).
1. Reproduced the issue on multiple machines and projects.

**Impact**
This issue disrupts the development workflow, as the **Rebuild** operation is commonly used for ensuring a clean and complete build without manual intervention.

Thank you for addressing this issue. Please let me know if additional logs or project files are required for further investigation.
