dotnet pack fails using UseArtifactsOutput=true with multi-targeting and global usings

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

I’m testing out an internal library with .NET 8 preview 4 and UseArtifactsOutput=true and dotnet pack fails with the following error (as we have treat warnings as errors turned on):

[/runner/_work/LambdaWorker/LambdaWorker/src/LambdaWorker/JustEat.LambdaWorker.csproj::TargetFramework=net7.0]
  JustEat.LambdaWorker -> /runner/_work/LambdaWorker/LambdaWorker/artifacts/bin/JustEat.LambdaWorker/release_net6.0/JustEat.LambdaWorker.dll

dotnet pack seems to be trying to add the same compiler-generating global using files for each TFM to the symbols package and emitting a warning.

To Reproduce

Pending: I haven’t yet worked out what the “magic combination” of factors is that causes this problem to make a simple repro. The repository I’m hitting this with is private so I can’t share as-is.
