Problem Description:
The issue seems to be OS specific and only reproduces on Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10. When a .NET object instance is passed to a function as an argument the function calls the object's ToString method.

Product Studio item created by Connect Synchronizer due to creation of feedback ID 1529031 (http://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=1529031).

Repro Steps:
Expected Results:
$Source = @"
using System;

namespace Test
{

public class TestClass

{

private bool _ts;
public bool ToStringCalled {
get {

return _ts;

}
}

public override string ToString() {
_ts = true;
return "test";
}

}

}
"@

Add-Type -TypeDefinition $Source -Language CSharp

$obj = new-object "Test.TestClass"

function test($o) {}

test $obj

$obj.ToStringCalled

> True
