MSBuild fails on UWP project

I have in my solution two project, MyProject.Core and MyProject.UnitTests, both of them UWP. From VS I can build and run them with no problem, but when I try to build the UnitTests project from the command line, using MSBUILD.exe I get this error:

C:\Program File x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\NuGet\Microsoft.NuGet.targets(140,5): error : Your project.json doesn't list 'win10' as a targeted runtime. You should add '"win10": { }' inside your "runtimes" section in your project.json, an d then re-run NuGet restore

The error is totally misleading. I've noticed that when I remove the reference to the Core project, it does work. I think it has something to do with the references of the Core project. I've tried adding them manually, but no luck.

Here is the full console output:

Here it is the project.json of the projects (both of them are identical at the moment, since I've added all the dependancies of the Core to the Unit Tests project)

To recreate at the command line, a build that Visual Studio can do successfully, see the instructions at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj651643.aspx to see the commands that VS uses.

Quick summary: Set Build output verbosity to 'Diagnostic'
