Description
This is the result of a continuing investigation into intermittent failures of an internal build.
### Steps to reproduce
Build multiple projects, one of which fails, in a single MSBuild task invocation with both `BuildInParallel="true"` and `ContinueOnError="true"`.
[continueonerror.zip](https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/files/1733212/continueonerror.zip)
### Expected behavior
Regardless of the value of `BuildInParallel`, the returned item should be populated with the success cases:
```
S:\work\intermittent-devdiv-failure\continueonerror>msbuild /nologo /v:m entry.proj /p:BuildInParallel=false
S:\work\intermittent-devdiv-failure\continueonerror\fail.proj(3,3): error : Failure!
Returned value: success
```
### Actual behavior
When `BuildInParallel=true` (even on a single-proc build), no output is assigned
```
S:\work\intermittent-devdiv-failure\continueonerror>msbuild /nologo /v:m entry.proj /p:BuildInParallel=true
S:\work\intermittent-devdiv-failure\continueonerror\fail.proj(3,3): error : Failure!
Returned value:
```
### Environment data
`msbuild /version` output: `15.6.81.24225 for .NET Framework` on my machine; `15.5.179.9764 for .NET Framework` internally
Also repros on `4.7.2556.0`, so this is not a recent regression.
