New-EC2IBComponent throws an error about tags when a component exists

[indented-automation]

New-EC2IBComponent throws an error about tags when the component of the specified version already exists.

Expected Behavior

The command should tell you something about what's wrong. The error message is incredibly misleading.

Current Behavior

Attempting to create the same component of the same version twice raises the error:

New-EC2IBComponent: Invalid tag key/value. Tag keys may only contain unicode letters, digits, whitespace, or one of these symbols: _ . : / = + -. Tag key can be up to 128 characters. Tag value can be up to 256 characters.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

$params = @{
    Name            = 'someComponent'
    Description     = 'someComponent'
    Platform        = 'Windows'
    SemanticVersion = '1.1.0'
    Tag             = @{
        Name = 'someTag'
    }
    Data            = @'
name: someComponent
description: someComponent
schemaVersion: 1.0

phases:
  - name: build
    steps:
      - name: install
        action: ExecutePowerShell
        inputs:
          commands:
