Pipeline termination when using Select -First 1

[eponerine]

Let's do something simple, like grabbing a single node of our cluster:

Get-ClusterNode | Select -First 1

You end up with the following pipeline errors:

Name        State Type
----        ----- ----
NODE-01     Up    Node
Get-ClusterNode : The pipeline has been stopped.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ClusterNode], ClusterCmdletException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Get-ClusterNode,Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.GetNodeCommand
Get-ClusterNode : The pipeline has been stopped.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ClusterNode], ClusterCmdletException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Get-ClusterNode,Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.GetNodeCommand
Get-ClusterNode : The pipeline has been stopped.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ClusterNode], ClusterCmdletException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Get-ClusterNode,Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.GetNodeCommand
Get-ClusterNode : The pipeline has been stopped.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ClusterNode], ClusterCmdletException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Get-ClusterNode,Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.GetNodeCommand

It appears that this is an issue with a lot of the Failover Clustering cmdlets. Try it with other FCM commands!

It looks like if you wrap the Clustering cmdlets in parens, and then pipe, it works. This is still really horrible behavior.
