Rob it could be that issue though we have very, very few solution dependencies (the primary reason for this as described in the linked blog entry). I just checked we have 2 solution based dependencies out of ~280 projects (1 to link a C++ project to a C# consumer and 1 to link 4 C# projects to a soon-to-be replaced InstallShield project).
Any one know if I turn up the logging on MSBuild if I can "see" each project's dependency 'tree' as MSBuild see it?
