Doesn't name a file, so you have to dig through more information to do anything about it.
Looks like everything in that block should list the reference in its error.

Research direction
Start with src/Tasks/Resources/Strings.resx at the MSB3246 message and src/Tasks/AssemblyDependency/ResolveAssemblyReference.cs around lines 1523-1528. Review the surrounding error-message block and update the relevant messages so each includes the reference file; done means the reported error identifies which file is involved.
