nunit-console 3.18.* fails on a mixed wpf net48 and netstandard2.0 project

[oscgu]

To follow up on my previous comment here (https://github.com/nunit/nunit-console/issues/1465#issuecomment-2477057106): I have now created a minimal project with which the issue can be reproduced repro.zip. Additionally I added a small script run.ps1 that downloads the console-runner, does a nuget restore, builds the solution and then starts the console-runner. With and without tests in the project, the following error always appears:

I also tried to debug this a little bit and it does seem to make it past the offending line (https://github.com/nunit/nunit-console/blob/main/src/NUnitEngine/nunit.engine/Services/TestAgency.cs#L63) if the vs-project-loader extension is not present, though then it fails because the "File type is not supported". Now I'm stuck on getting the extension loaded/debugged in conjunction with the console-runner.

@oscgu Is this fixed for you in version 3.19.3?
