Description
**Version Used**:
2.9.0
**Steps to Reproduce**:
1. Open a solution with a C# project.
2. Obtain a `ConfiguredProject` interface for the C# project.
3. Add a reference to a GAC'd assembly via the following calls:
```
await configuredProject.Services.AssemblyReferences.AddAsync(assemblyName, null);
await configuredProject.UnconfiguredProject.SaveAsync();
```
4. Note that the `.csproj` file is properly updated to include the reference.
5. Obtain a reference to the `VisualStudioWorkspace` and locate the `Project` to which the reference was added.
6. Note that the `MetadataReferences` on that `Project` do NOT include the reference added via the CPS calls above.
**Expected Behavior**:
The Roslyn project should pick up the added reference.
**Actual Behavior**:
The Roslyn project does not include the added reference.
