@heddendorp thanks for reporting this! I'll have a look at it to try to get it resolved.

Please note there is this guide to manually transition your Angular CLI workspace to an Nx workspace https://nx.dev/latest/angular/migration/migration-angular#transitioning-manually. You can follow the steps outlined there to unblock the migration if the fix is delayed.

The issue seems to be an Angular DevKit issue caused by files that are moved (renamed) and updated (overwritten). The Angular DevKit doesn't seem to be handling the new path of the moved files when validating the update operation. I created the following issue to try to get it resolved there: angular/angular-cli#21083. If a resolution is delayed, we'll add a workaround in our generator.
