Description

### Describe the bug

Using `dotnet run` with the `--no-cache` argument produces the following error:
```
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/10.0.100-rc.1.25451.107/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3442,5): error MSB3552: Resource file "**/*.resx" cannot be found.
```

`dotnet run` runs fine without this argument.

```
matt@Mac ~ % dotnet run test.cs
Hello!
matt@Mac ~ % dotnet run test.cs --no-cache
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/10.0.100-rc.1.25451.107/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3442,5): error MSB3552: Resource file "**/*.resx" cannot be found.

The build failed. Fix the build errors and run again.

matt@Mac ~ % ./test.cs
Hello!
matt@Mac ~ % ./test.cs --no-cache
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/10.0.100-rc.1.25451.107/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3442,5): error MSB3552: Resource file "**/*.resx" cannot be found.

The build failed. Fix the build errors and run again.

```

### To Reproduce

```
#!/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet run
Console.WriteLine("Hello!");
foreach (var arg in args) {
Console.WriteLine(arg);
}
```

### Exceptions (if any)

```
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/10.0.100-rc.1.25451.107/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3442,5): error MSB3552: Resource file "**/*.resx" cannot be found.
