[Development] Building Qt using Visual Studio

I am trying to build Qt 6.8.2 inside Visual Studio 2022

I am able, with no issues to build it using ninja.  However when I use  -cmake-generator "Visual Studio 17 2022"

I get the following error (for tons of projects, not just the one listed)

CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
  The EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL property of target "syncqt" varies by configuration.
  This is not supported by the "Visual Studio 17 2022" generator.

This property should only be used for ninja targets, should I file a bug on the build system?  Or is non-ninja not truly supported yet and this is a known issue?

Scott
