Description

On core CLR, this mismatch is caught by the test: TypeLoader_Tests.LoadInsideAssemblyWhenGivenOutsideAssemblyWithSameName

The message gets logged erroneously in here: https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/blob/master/src/XMakeBuildEngine/Instance/TaskRegistry.cs#L414

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the failing test TypeLoader Tests.LoadInsideAssemblyWhenGivenOutsideAssemblyWithSameName and trace the path logging in TaskRegistry.cs line 414.
