Test-Path oddities

Test-Path works incorrectly in some locations

Fixed in v6.2.0-preview.2

Test-Path and Test-Path -LiteralPath may work incorrectly with relative paths if the current location path is "odd".

The script Current.directory.with.odd.name.ps1 creates directories with odd names, sets the current location to them, and tests an existing item using Test-Path. Results are unexpected.
