IEnumerable and IReadOnlyCollection navigation properties throw System.Security.VerificationException

This is the same exception that has been discussed a few years back in several issues: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/12881 https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/12558 https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/12925 . It was apparently made moot by QueryBuffer being removed, but it still occurs.

It appears that the problem has returned; using IReadOnlyCollection or IEnumerable in place of ICollection causes an exception:

System.ArgumentException: GenericArguments[1], 'System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyCollection`1[CCServer.Data.Principals.Principal]', on 'TCollection InitializeCollection[TElement,TCollection](Int32, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.QueryContext, System.Data.Common.DbDataReader, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.Internal.SingleQueryResultCoordinator, System.Func`3[Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.QueryContext,System.Data.Common.DbDataReader,System.Object[]], System.Func`3[Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.QueryContext,System.Data.Common.DbDataReader,System.Object[]], Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.IClrCollectionAccessor)' violates the constraint of type 'TCollection'.
