Please use the v8.0.100-preview.3.23178.7 tag to source-build .NET version 8.0.0-preview.3.23174.8 / 8.0.100-preview.3.23210.1.

{
  "Channel": "8.0",
  "Runtime": "8.0.0-preview.3.23174.8",
  "Sdk": "8.0.100-preview.3.23210.1",
  "InstallerTag": "v8.0.100-preview.3.23178.7"
}

Note that the build number in the tag doesn't match the build number of the SDK. This is expected. We're still ironing out our release process and don't expect this discrepancy to continue in future releases.

When I build this, it produces an SDK with version 8.0.100-preview.3.23210.1. Is that expected?

Yes, it's expected. I've updated the announcement to reflect this. The build number is different than the Microsoft SDK for Preview 3 because an additional commit was needed for the Source-build release.
