The problem is that some intermediate files of several build targets (luckily only on tests) share the same path.

This may or may not cause problems during building and/or runtime. But once you start building in parallel the chance that you hit a problem increases. As I run msbuild the same way as Visual Studio via a wrapper script the number of cores used to build 1.7 increased for me since the original release of 1.7.
