Steps to reproduce

[Server Side (PowerShell 5.1)]
New-PSSessionConfigurationFile -Path .\TestSession.pssc -SessionType RestrictedRemoteServer -LanguageMode NoLanguage
Register-PSSessionConfiguration -Name TestSession -Path .\TestSession.pssc
Restart-Service WinRM

[Client Side (PowerShell 5.1)]
$credential = Get-Credential
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName ServerName -Credential $credential -ConfigurationName TestSession
Import-PSSession $session <--- This will fail.

This doesn't happen if client is PowerShell 5.0 or lower version.

=================================================================

[Debug note]
I took iDNA trace for wsmprovhost.exe on server side and here is the error path. 

This happens if client powershell is 5.1 or above as a parameter ‘PowerShellVersion’ is added to argument for Get-FormatData wchich is called internally in the Import-PSSession. Then, "Get-FormatData -TypeName xx -PowerShellVersion 5.1" is performed in wsmprovhost.exe on server side. But, 'PowerShellVersion' is marked as unbound parameter in the RestrictedRemoteServer session. Then, ParameterBindingException is thrown from VerifyArgumentsProcessed().
