dotnet team says this is fixed in 3.0 Preview.9 which will come out next month I think, so if that fix works, this should be fixed in PS7 Preview.4
@SteveL-MSFT I just tested the “frameworkdependent” release of powershell-7.0.0-preview.2 with the nightly 3.0.100-preview9-013948 of dotnet core. Looks good to me.
