dotnet format is broken on sdk 8.0 preview

See original GitHub issue

Running dotnet format is broken on sdk 8.0 preview. This is similar to #1800.

Reproduction steps

This was reproduced on fresh installs on multiple machines, all running Ubuntu 22.04 under WSL2

Install the latest dotnet preview (8.0.100-preview.6.23330.14)
Create a new project with dotnet new webapi
Run dotnet format on the created project

Expected

dotnet format runs on the project without errors

Actual

The process errors out with the following log:
