Steps to reproduce

This script will demonstrate the problem by removing and re-installing the Calculator app. (It requires Administrator privileges to be able to re-install the app.)
BugInRemove-AppxPackage.zip

The work-around to re-displaying the progress bar is to run the cmdlet in a new shell. e.g.
$Env:AppxPackageName = $AppxPackage.Name
. (Get-Process -Id $PID).Processname -Command 'Get-AppxPackage $Env:AppxPackageName | Remove-AppPackage'

Expected behavior

The progress bar should honor the ProgressPreference and never re-display after the cmdlet completes.

Actual behavior

Remove-AppxPackage does not honor $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'.

Then, the progress bar is re-displayed and remains in view if the command is followed by [System.Console]::ReadKey().

These are probably two seperate bugs, but tied closely together.
