dotnet publish not using PublishProfile

According to the documentation I can run the following command from my project folder using the same publish profile as produced in Visual Studio 2017.

dotnet publish -p:PublishProfile=FolderProfile

This is my FolderProfile.pubxml for a console application with target framework .NET Core 2.1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

    <PublishProtocol>FileSystem</PublishProtocol>

    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>

    <RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
    <SelfContained>true</SelfContained>
    <_IsPortable>false</_IsPortable>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

When executing dotnet publish -p:PublishProfile=FolderProfile the FolderProfile.pubxml is ignored and I see this output

I also just ran into this issue (tested with .NET SDK 5.0.104 and 5.0.201). Neither PublishProfile or PublishProfileFullPath is able to pick up a FolderProfile.pubxml located in Properties\PublishProfiles, and generated by VS 2019.
