Get-GithubRepository doesn't appear to honor ErrorAction inside a a try/catch

I write my code inside try/catch blocks and set ErrorActionPrefernce = "Stop" and clear the error stack. When I know something will fail and I want to handle it outside the try/catch then I will pass -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue and capture the result. In the situation described in the title, I have a pipeline in Azure Devops that I use to create a repo, but I need to test if it exists first, then create it if it doesn't. I do this because New-GithubRepository fails when you attempt to create a repo. Part of the pipeline passes the reposoity object onto the pipeline so tasks further down the flow can work properly.

I know at one point this worked as my code (similar to below) is well over a year old. I can confirm the issue exists in v16 and the current v17.

Issue Details

When passing -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue into cmdlet, it should be honored and not throw an error.
