We had a similar issue, and it ended up being related to MSBuild itself,
not Jenkins. The jobs seemed to work correctly when run from a command
line, but it took a while and they eventually started failing as well.

Our issue was due to the maximum number of temp files in %TEMP% being
exceeded (see the GetTempFileNameA[1] function, it has an internal limit of
65,535). Once we cleared those out (and resolved the bug in our code that
wasn't cleaning them up), the builds worked again.
