We now have more useful information in the logs for these. Two of the available logs have this in it:

@rainersigwald does this ring any bell?

[rainersigwald]

All of the recent hits seem to be dotnet/msbuild#10342, which should be fixed in the preview7 GA build. Is there a timeline for updating to that? Anything my team can help with?

this one I don't recognize, but I haven't seen it in the current links.

[rainersigwald]

Is it possible to have multiple issues with known problems that match a signature with prioritization? I'd like to create one like at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.Logging.LoggingContext.LogBuildEvent to bucket the dotnet/msbuild#10342 hits so we can use this one for "everything else that causes an MSBuild worker node crash".

[jkoritzinsky]

You can have multiple known issues I think, but I don't think there's a prioritization mechanism.

I'd recommend having a separate issue to bucket the dotnet/msbuild#10342 hits and leave this one as a catch-all to trigger build retries when a node dies (and we can triage specific failure classes into different known issues if they happen with enough frequency).
