Unable to read .nettrace file collected by dotnet-trace

Reproduce el problema con el comando documentado de dotnet-trace collect y, a continuación, intenta abrir el archivo .nettrace resultante en PerfView y Visual Studio mientras revisas los errores de EventPipe y FastSerialization que reportan. Se considera terminado cuando se haya identificado por qué se rechaza este archivo generado y se haya confirmado que el trace recopilado se abre correctamente en las herramientas afectadas.
