Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

Casting from PSCustomObject to Object works but doing the same thing in a Class fails
Shouldn't it basically work and do no conversion as PSCustomObject BaseType is Object?

$PsO = [PSCustomObject]@{
    Name = 'Value'
}

# PSCustomObject to Object works:
[Object][PSCustomObject]$PsO


class TestClass {
    $PsO
    [string]$Ok
}
class TestClassP {
    [PSCustomObject]$PsO
    [string]$Ok
}
$Class = [TestClass]@{
    PsO = $PsO
    Ok = 'Yes'
}

$Generic = $Class | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 | ConvertFrom-Json # Convert to PSCustomObject
# Cannot convert the "@{Name=Value}" value of type "System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject" to type "System.Object":
[TestClass]$Generic
# Works (stay as PSCustomObject)
[TestClassP]$Generic


$Generic = $Class | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 | ConvertFrom-Json -AsHashtable # Convert to OrderedHashtable
# Works (stay as OrderedHashtable)
[TestClass]$Generic

Expected behavior

Class cast successfully, "PsO" doesn't change.

Actual behavior

Error
