@nickcox It looks like you are on a slightly older beta build. Could you try updating to 2.0.0-beta3 see if it still happens for you?

I can't reproduce this with 2.0.0-beta3 in Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Core.

I saw the same issue reported here - PowerShell/PowerShell#8000 - maybe there's something common about the environments to suggest where the problem lies.

Yep, apologies, it's working fine in 2.0.0-beta3. 🖖
