Description
Given a .NET Framework project (non-SDK) referenced by any project, (erroneously) add
```xml
net46;net8.0
```
to try to make it multitarget. That is ignored by the non-SDK common targets, so the individual project can build, but the referencing project fails before RPR, leaving you with
```sh-session
> msbuild -bl
ClassLibrary2 succeeded (0.1s) → ClassLibrary2\bin\Debug\ClassLibrary2.dll
You are using a preview version of .NET. See: https://aka.ms/dotnet-support-policy
ClassLibrary2 failed with 1 error(s) (0.0s)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1967,5): error : Internal MSBuild error: Non-CrossTargeting GetTargetFrameworks target should not be used in cross targeting (outer) build
Build failed with 1 error(s) in 0.6s
```
That error isn't _wrong_ but it sure doesn't help you fix the problem.
