Diagnostics logging is incompatible with windows EventLog

After an upgrade to EF Core 2.0 EventLog provider throws an exception

Exception message: System.AggregateException: An error occurred while writing to logger(s). ---> System.ArgumentException: Invalid eventID value '100403'. It must be in the range between '0' and '65535'.
