Description
Describe the bug
In v4 the following request was allowed (i.e. it was not a bad request):-
// v4 - this works
await _graphClient.Groups[targetGroup.Id].Members[user.Id].Request().GetAsync();
If this request succeeded, you could count on the indicated user being a member of the indicated group.
Removing Request() from the above results in code that doesn't compile, so I used:-
// v5 - this doesn't work
await _graphClient.Groups[targetGroup.Id].Members[user.Id].GraphUser.GetAsync();
but this code throws an ODataError exception (so it really should be called ODataErrorException but that's another story) with a bad request error message:-
"Invalid property 'businessPhones' specified in $select."
What is strange is that the v5 request to determine if a group (as opposed to a user) is a member of a group is fine, and doesn't result in a bad request:-
// v5 - this works
await _graphClient.Groups[targetGroup.Id].Members[group.Id].GraphGroup.GetAsync();
To Reproduce
In version 5.7.0 of Microsoft.Graph package, execute:-
await _graphClient.Groups[targetGroup.Id].Members[user.Id].GraphUser.GetAsync();
Expected behavior
No exception thrown, and certainly not an OData exception indicating a bad request with error message "Invalid property 'businessPhones' specified in $select.".

Research direction
Start by running the version 5.7.0 reproduction with Groups[targetGroup.Id].Members[user.Id].GraphUser.GetAsync(), then compare it with the working GraphGroup.GetAsync() call. Trace the request generated by GraphUser.GetAsync and verify that the membership query no longer selects the invalid businessPhones property; the user membership lookup should complete without an ODataError.
