Research direction

Run the PowerShell reproduction with xunit.v3.templates, then inspect .nuget\packages\xunit.v3.core\1.1.0\buildTransitive\xunit.v3.core.targets at line 30 and the Paket convert-from-nuget/install behavior. Done means the converted project restores and dotnet build succeeds without MSB4057.
