Prerequisites

Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

create 2 functions:

PS> function cmdletB {[CmdletBinding()]param()BEGIN{"b2"}PROCESS{"! p2 !"}END{"e2"}}                                              
PS> function cmdletA {[CmdletBinding()]param()BEGIN{"b1"}PROCESS{"! p1 !";cmdletB}END{"e1"}}

this will operate as expected:

PS> cmdletA -pv a| % {"> $a <"}
> b1 <
> ! p1 ! <
> b2 <
> ! p2 ! <
> e2 <
> e1 <

however, if you add -pv a to the invocation of cmdletB, you can see the issue.

PS> function cmdletA {[CmdletBinding()]param()BEGIN{"b1"}PROCESS{"! p1 !";cmdletB -pv a}END{"e1"}}
PS> cmdletA -pv a| % {"> $a <"}                                                                   
> b1 <
> ! p1 ! <
> ! p1 ! <
> ! p1 ! <
> ! p1 ! <
> e1 <

it seems to lose all output from cmdletB.
It doesn't seem to matter if you choose a different pipeline variable for cmdletB

PS> function cmdletA {[CmdletBinding()]param()BEGIN{"b1"}PROCESS{"! p1 !";cmdletB -pv b}END{"e1"}}
PS> cmdletA -pv a| % {"> $a $b <"}                                                                
> b1  <
> ! p1 !  <
> ! p1 !  <
> ! p1 !  <
> ! p1 !  <
> e1  <

Expected behavior

PS> cmdletA -pv a| % {"> $a <"}
> b1 <
> ! p1 ! <
> b2 <
> ! p2 ! <
> e2 <
> e1 <

Actual behavior

PS> cmdletA -pv a| % {"> $a <"}                                                                   
> b1 <
> ! p1 ! <
> ! p1 ! <
> ! p1 ! <
> ! p1 ! <
> e1 <
