If 'Set-PSDebug -trace 1' is in action, 'foreach' doesn't work (does nothing) in PS3.

IMVHO that's definitely a bug.

Can we expect a fix or at least a workaround?

Details (expand)

Always Happens

No, this is new to the most recent version

- Take the following script:

foreach ($basename in ('a','b','c'))
{
    write-host $basename
}

- Run a PS3 host
- issue "Set-PSDebug -trace 1"
- run the script

You'll get:

PS 3.0 E:\private_sba>E:\tmp\foreach.ps1
DEBUG:    1+ >>>> E:\tmp\foreach.ps1
DEBUG:    1+ foreach ($basename in >>>> ('a','b','cl'))
DEBUG:     ! SET $foreach = 'a b cl'.
DEBUG:    1+ foreach ( >>>> $basename in ('a','b','c'))
DEBUG:     ! SET $foreach = ''.

If you run the script under the same conditions in a PS2 host (powershell -version 2.0) you'll get:

PS 2.0 E:\private_sba>Set-PSDebug -trace 1
