Steps to reproduce

The issue manifests whenever a function contains a block (if, foreach, try,...), which writes some output and then calls return. All output from the block is written into the output pipeline, even if the output of the block should be redirected into a variable, or a pipeline inside the function:

function x([switch]$p) {
    $null = foreach ($a in @(1)) {
        echo "this should not be visible"
        if ($p) {return}
    }
}
function y([switch]$p) {
    $null = try {echo "this should not be visible"; if ($p) {return}} catch {}
}

Expected behavior

PS> x
PS> y
PS> x -p
PS> y -p

Actual behavior

PS> x
PS> y
PS> x -p
this should not be visible
PS> y -p
this should not be visible
