Well, I think I found the reason: I played a bit more with the msbuild task and when the project file exists, I do get artifacts and the detailed report. This means that if msbuild cannot find the project file for any reason, it outputs a message that is not detected as an error message by the msbuild task and while the task fails, it does not give that message for the report builder to use. This is very annoying because you have a "build failed" message but no error to go with.
Should I report this as a bug? If yes, where do I do so?
