"GetPackageDirectory" task failing unexpectedly

See original GitHub issue

Information

cc @danmoseley Linked to https://github.com/dotnet/performance/issues/2564 Starting late 08/15, when building for “Runtime=NativeAOT 7.0” with “Toolchain=ILCompiler 7.0.0-*”, our builds started hitting “The ‘GetPackageDirectory’ task failed unexpectedly”. This is different from behavior using the same settings the day before. We have public logs demonstrating the error: https://helixre107v0xdeko0k025g8.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet-performance-refs-pull-2549-merge-ada34367314d40efb9/Partition0/1/console.e9e4522d.log?helixlogtype=result and demonstrating a successful build https://helixre107v0xdeko0k025g8.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet-performance-refs-heads-main-0f44758c7ce64b77aa/Partition1/1/console.7e903502.log?helixlogtype=result. Looking around I noticed the task area was updated around the same time the errors started showing up in our builds (https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/27159). Could this potentially be related to those changes @LakshanF?
