dotnet test does no longer accept a project path after updating to NET 7.0.101

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

After updating NET 7.0.100 to NET 7.0.101 dotnet test does no longer accept a project path as an argument.

To Reproduce

Sample test project:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net7.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="17.4.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="xunit" Version="2.4.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="2.4.5">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>
using Xunit;

namespace ClassLibrary1
{
    public class Class1
    {
        [Fact]
        public void Test()
        {

        }
    }
}

With NET 7.0.101 this does not work

C:\>dotnet --version
7.0.101
C:\>dotnet test C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ClassLibrary1.csproj
Befehl oder Argument "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ClassLibrary1.csproj" nicht erkannt

With NET 7.0.100 this worked

C:\>dotnet --version
7.0.100
C:\>dotnet test C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ClassLibrary1.csproj

Setting the environment variable DOTNET_CLI_UI_LANGUAGE=en-US does also fix the issue.
