Resolution Note (2020.1.X):
After UnityEngine.UI.dll was moved to a package and now compiled by Unity, it is now compiled against the UnityEngine.*Module.dll assemblies.
This means that any assembly that referencing any of the package assemblies also needs reference the UnityEngine.*Module.dll assemblies instead of UnityEngine.dll.
In this case the compile errors is caused by a missing reference to UnityEngine.CoreModule.dll because the package UnityEngine.UI.dll references it.
