ASP.NET Core Web API: Server fails to start due to invalid app.config file

[pfedotovsky]

I want to consume WCF service within my ASP.NET Core Web API application. I've added needed endpoints and another configuration into the app.config file, but when I run "dotnet publish" produced .exe.config file is incorrect, see below. So I can't run project until I fix the file manually and I can't run project inside Visual Studio due to this bug.

  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>m.serviceModel>  

</configuration>

The last N symbols is duplicated for some reason - seems to be a bug in the dotnet command-line utility.

I've created sample project to reproduce the problem: http://github.com/pfedotovsky/aspnet-tests
Just run dotnet publish and open AppConfigIssue.exe.config in the output directory.
