I complained about this exact issue on microsoft.public.windows.powershell roughly two years ago. It's nice to know that some one on the team finally has looked at it. Thank you! =)

HA! I've had that problem but solved it a different way.

$table = @{ key1="val1"; key2="val2" }

$table.psobject.members.Add((new-object management.automation.PSNoteProperty "Test","TestVal"))

-PassThru would be easier and I may have stumbled onto it but didn't pickup the pattern.

This is definitely not the only bug related to bare-objects and psobjects being treated differently. Your blog post prompted me to get around to reporting two other such bugs. Here they are:
