dotnet test fail to pass MSBuild properties

[BrunoGuardia]

Describe the bug

Until .Net 6.x, we were able to run

dotnet test App.sln -p Property=Value

and the property was adequately passed down to MSBuild, interpreted by project files and the like.

On upgrading to .Net 7.x, we found the property was no longer passed down. However, we have a workaround

dotnet test -p Property=Value App.sln

To Reproduce

Fail - runs only one test dotnet test TestProject1.csproj -p:CIBuild=Integration

Correct - runs only one test dotnet test -p:CIBuild=Unit TestProject1.csproj

Correct - runs the two tests dotnet test -p:CIBuild=Integration TestProject1.csproj

TestProject1.csproj

Passing properties seem to have worked since earlier versions, but it is not well documented.
