Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

Group-Object in PowerShell 7.3.10 and below is able to group strings containing { and } characters.

In PowerShell 7.4 this fails.

Expected behavior

PS> '}' | Group-Object

Count  Name    Group
-----  ----    -----
    1  }       {}}

Actual behavior

PS> '}' | Group-Object
Group-Object: Input string was not in a correct format. Failure to parse near offset 1. Unexpected closing brace without a corresponding opening brace.
