dotnet test fails on sdk 6.0.200 - System.AccessViolationException

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

An exception is thrown when I run dotnet test, after updating to SDK version 6.0.200. It works perfectly with SDK versions 6.0.101 and 6.0.102.

The problem also happened with other unit test projects, not just the sample xUnit project.

To Reproduce

Install .NET SDK 6.0.200
mkdir TestTest
cd TestTest
dotnet new xunit
dotnet test

Further technical details

Include the output of dotnet --info
