Error CS0229 : Ambiguity on partial props with primary constructor

[jasonmsmith]

Describe the bug

The error occurs in a very specific situation:

1. The class must contain at least one partial property. (In my tests, the definition and implementation were in separate files)
2. The class must have a primary constructor
3. Use the nameof operator to refer to one of the partial properties of the class from the constructor of an attribute attached to a class. (It is important that the nameof operator is used outside of any class definitions. nameof works as expected inside the bounds of a class definition.)

When these three conditions are met, dotnet build fails with Error CS0229, claiming ambiguity between the two halves of the partial property.

To Reproduce

You can see a simple class library here: https://github.com/jasonmsmith/PartialPropertyTest

Note that there are two nearly identical classes, one with a standard constructor and the other with a primary constructor. The one with a primary constructor causes an error on build, but not the one with a standard constructor.

This is similar to #76651; not exactly the same, but might have the same root cause.

[RikkiGibson]

It looks like #76871 is shipping in 17.14. Let's follow up once the first preview of 17.14 is released and ask user if they can reproduce in that version.

The issue appears to be fixed in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 Preview 1. 👍🏼 I was able to successfully compile the sample repo linked above.
