After further investigation, the package isn't removed by the sysprep operation, it's the first GUI user login which causes the removal. The event log Windows/AppxDeployment registers a removal of the provisioned Appx package.

I have done systematic testing of provisioning of the package after sysprep has been run. The package cannot be provisioned before one GUI login has been performed. The GUI login of a user obviously initializes the package system which makes provisioning of the package possible (without it beeing removed when another user login).
This issue occurs with the Windows Terminal package but not with the Windows Package Manager (winget) package.
Now that Terminal is (rightly) the default now in Windows 11, various links to open PowerShell (such as WIN+X + i) don't launch following a sysprep.
We're having the same issue after sysprepping, imaging and deploying images with MDT.
Hey guys, thanks for bringing this up. I don't know anything about how sysprep works, but I found some folks internally who gave me the following advice:
Could this be happening because the Terminal app wasn’t provisioned with the /region option specified and isn’t pinned to Start?
Yes, I think that’s the issue here.
The component that performs region enforcement runs after region selection in OOBE. Provisioning without a region set is fine after that enforcement runs, but will cause the package to get removed if OOBE is subsequently run.
If the user adds -Regions “all” to the command, the package should stick around after sysprep/OOBE.
Can you try doing that?
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has been marked as requiring author feedback but has not had any activity for 4 days. It will be closed if no further activity occurs within 3 days of this comment.
Yes, specifying regions resolved the issue. I did a test without the regions parameter and ran sysprep, and repeated the test with the regions parameter. The provisioned Appx package was removed without the regions parameter, but it wasn't removed with the regions parameter.
Working install command with the regions parameter:
Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath .\6c2f7ae7a8704900905b0d7eabd22fdf.msixbundle -LicensePath .\6c2f7ae7a8704900905b0d7eabd22fdf_License1.xml -Verbose -LogLevel Debug -Regions all
(reading between the lines, I'm gonna assume you're OP)
Cool! Glad we were able to get this one sorted out.
Windows Terminal version
1.11.3471.0
Windows build number
10.0.20348
Other Software
Windows Server 2022
Steps to reproduce
Appx package installation:
Install-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath file.appx -LicensePath file.xml
Expected Behavior
`C:>Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | ? DisplayName -like *WindowsTerminal
DisplayName : Microsoft.WindowsTerminal Version : 2021.1214.340.0 Architecture : neutral ResourceId : ~ PackageName : Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_2021.1214.340.0neutral~_8wekyb3d8bbwe Regions : `
Actual Behavior
Package is not found and the Windows Terminal is not installed and available for the admin user. At least one other Appx package isn't removed by sysprep, the Windows Package Manager package is available after sysprep has been run.
