Protoc command does not include "." as proto_path

I'm having an issue when building a protobuf with protoc from Rider. Not sure if it is a bug or a setting. This is how project files look like

 <ItemGroup>
 ...
		<Protobuf Include="data_service.proto"/>
...
</ItemGroup>

When I try to build from Rider protoc fails as

File does not reside within any path specified using --proto_path (or -I).  You must specify a --proto_path which encompasses this file

This is the protoc command

<HOME>/.nuget/packages/grpc.tools/2.67.0/tools/linux_x64/protoc --csharp_out=obj/Debug/net8.0 --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=<HOME>/.nuget/packages/grpc.tools/2.67.0/tools/linux_x64/grpc_csharp_plugin --grpc_out=obj/Debug/net8.0 --proto_path=<HOME>/.nuget/packages/grpc.tools/2.67.0/build/native/include --dependency_out=obj/Debug/net8.0/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d_data_service.protodep --error_format=msvs data_service.proto

But I can build without issues from the command line with dotnet build, where I can see it is using the following command

<HOME>/.nuget/packages/grpc.tools/2.67.0/tools/linux_x64/protoc --csharp_out=obj/Debug/net8.0 --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=<HOME>/.nuget/packages/grpc.tools/2.67.0/tools/linux_x64/grpc_csharp_plugin --grpc_out=obj/Debug/net8.0 --proto_path=<HOME>/.nuget/packages/grpc.tools/2.67.0/build/native/include --proto_path=. --dependency_out=obj/Debug/net8.0/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d_data_service.protodep --error_format=msvs data_service.proto

What I can see is that, when running from command line, the --proto_path=. is automatically added to the protoc command, while this does not happen when building from Rider. In order to make Rider to build, I have to explicitly to add ProtoRoot to the project file, E.g.

 <ItemGroup>
 ...
		<Protobuf Include="data_service.proto" ProtoRoot="."/>
...
</ItemGroup>

Any idea why? Adding ProtoRoot is not really an option, because I don't own the project, I'm just depending on it. 

I'm on ubuntu 22.0.4
