dotnet test -p:Platform does not appear to work anymore

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

On dotnet test version 17.1.1.12406, the following worked fine:

dotnet test foo.bar.tests --no-build -c Debug /property:Platform="AnyCPU"

whereas on dotnet test version 17.4.0.51802 the platform property is completely ignored. On the machine with the lower version, I have .NET 6.0 (6.0.203), whereas on the machine with the higher version I have .NET 7.0 (7.0.100).

To Reproduce

Create a C# test assembly which has a platform defined (e.g. AnyCPU), add a unit test to it, and try the above.
