VSTS/VSO Host Pool: The given path's format is not supported

We are using VSO/VSTS' host build pool with the new vNext build platform. But suddenly, as of today, all of our builds have started breaking. This happens during the execution of a powershell script.

Error:

. 'C:\a\1\s\scripts\LocalPublish.ps1' --packOutput C:\a\1\a\MyProject --projectName "MyProject.Api" --buildConfiguration Release

Executing the following powershell script. (workingFolder = C:\a\1\s)

C:\a\1\s\scripts\LocalPublish.ps1 --packOutput C:\a\1\a\MyProject --projectName "MyProject.Api" --buildConfiguration Release

Microsoft .NET Development Utility Clr-x86-1.0.0-rc1-16231

[error]Error: The given path's format is not supported.

[error]Process completed with exit code 1 and had 1 error(s) written to the error stream.

Powershell script arguments:

--packOutput $(build.stagingDirectory)\MyProject --projectName "MyProject.Api" --buildConfiguration $(BuildConfiguration)

Can anyone explain why this has started happening?

It seems that a backwards incompatible change was introduced. From how I understand it, passing in parameters can now only be done using a single dash '-' and not a double dash '--'.

Build works when arguments are as follows:

-packOutput $(build.stagingDirectory)\MyProject -projectName "MyProject.Api" -buildConfiguration $(BuildConfiguration)
