Research direction
Start with the InnerToDictionary reproduction in /path/to/file.cs and inspect the query translation stack around RelationalProjectionBindingExpressionVisitor and TranslateSelect. Run the test against EF Core 3.0.0 with the Npgsql provider, then verify that projecting a navigation property's ToDictionary no longer raises the reported InvalidOperationException.

Description
Exception message and stack trace
System.InvalidOperationException : When called from 'VisitLambda', rewriting a node of type 'System.Linq.Expressions.ParameterExpression' must return a non-null value of the same type. Alternatively, override 'VisitLambda' and change it to not visit children of this type.

Steps to reproduce
public class ContextTests
{
public class SimpleCtx : DbContext
{
public SimpleCtx([NotNull] DbContextOptions options) : base(options)
{
}
public DbSet<ParentEntity> Parents { get; set; }
public DbSet<ChildEntity> Children { get; set; }
}
public class ParentEntity
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public ICollection<ChildEntity> Children { get; set; }
}
public class ChildEntity
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string ParentId { get; set; }
public ParentEntity Parent { get; set; }
}
[Fact]
public void InnerToDictionary()
{
var dbContextOptionsBuilder = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<SimpleCtx>()
.UseNpgsql("con");
var ctx = new SimpleCtx(dbContextOptionsBuilder.Options);
var res = ctx.Parents.Select(p => p.Children.ToDictionary(c => c.Id, c => c.ParentId)).ToArray();
}
}
