In PowerShell v3, when the $ErrorActionPreference is 'Stop' and a .NET method throws an exception in an advanced function, the resulting error is non-terminating (script execution continues).

Have you seen this problem before in this product?

No, this is new to the most recent version
Reproduction Steps

function Foo {
[CmdletBinding()]
Param()
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
[datetime]::Parse('xyz')
Write-Host 'Foo'
}

Foo
Write-Host 'After Foo'
Expected Results

In the example above, the exception raised from the Parse method should generate a terminating error and cause script execution to stop. Instead, function execution stops but script execution continues.

Advanced functions should work just like regular functions.
