Bundle fails to build after Visual Studio 2022 upgraded to v. 17.3.4

Using Wix Toolset 5.0.2, HeatWave 1.0.5

I have a .Net 8.0 project referenced by Wix Msi project, which is referenced by a Wix Bundle project.
The Msi publishes the .Net project and does harvest:

<ItemGroup>
  <ProjectReference Include="..\..\Foo\Foo.csproj" Publish="true" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
  <HarvestDirectory Include="$(IntermediateOutputPath)publish\Foo">
    <ComponentGroupName>FooBinaries</ComponentGroupName>
    <DirectoryRefId>INSTALLFOLDER</DirectoryRefId>
    <SuppressRootDirectory>true</SuppressRootDirectory>
    <SuppressRegistry>true</SuppressRegistry>
    <Transforms>harvestFilter.xsl</Transforms>
  </HarvestDirectory>
</ItemGroup>

After upgrading VS, the bundle projects fails with numerous errors like that:

C:\...\Foo\Install\FooMsi\obj\x64\Release\_FooBinaries_dir.wxs(5): error WIX0103: Cannot find the File file 'SourceDir\Azure.Core.dll'. 
The following paths were checked: 
SourceDir\Azure.Core.dll,C:\...\FooMsi\obj\x64\Release\publish\Foo\Azure.Core.dll,C:\...\FooMsi\obj\x64\Release\publish\Foo\SourceDir\Azure.Core.dll

The Msi project alone builds without errors and creates publish directory FooMsi\obj\x64\Release\publish
However when Bundle builds this directory is deleted.

The same solution worked fine with Visual Studio version 17.9.6 and wix toolset 5.0.0

If the build works properly using dotnet build or msbuild -Restore from the command-line then this is would be a HeatWave issue and you'll want to follow up in the FireGiant community forum. In either case, it'll probably be important to be able to see your .wixprojs and a binlog (msbuild -Restore -bl) to start tracking down what might be going awry.

Thanks Rob,
It builds from dotnet build.
I am going to replicate the issue in a small standalone project and will share it.

I found the reason. In Msi.wixproj I had this:

<Target Name="CleanPublishDir" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild">
  <RemoveDir Directories="$(IntermediateOutputPath)publish" />
</Target>

The idea was to to cleanup publish directory before the build, so that there are no stale files from the previous publish.
With HeatWave 1.0.5 this causes deletion of publish directory when Bundle builds in VS after Msi project builds.
If the cleanup target is commented, the bundle builds without errors, but I still need a way to cleanup the old publish.
