Description

The error is:

The tools version "Current" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "2.0", "3.5", "4.0".

So it's seemingly picking up MSBuild from the GAC instead of the v17 one we reference.

Research direction

Start by locating the .NET Framework tests and reproducing the reported tools-version error. Trace which MSBuild executable they resolve and verify that the referenced v17 version is used instead of the GAC copy; done means the tests run without the unrecognized "Current" tools-version error.
