Well, I figured it out, but I'm not sure whether it really would be considered a bug or not. It turns out that VMWare's PowerCLI and Microsoft's HyperV module use some of the exact same module names (like, say, 'New-VM') and the order in which they will be selected is undetermined. So I recently installed PowerCLI to try to do some vSphere builds, and once I did that it broke my hyper-v builds. So, I had to uninstall PowerCLI and re-install the Hyper-V feature to make it work. I think it could be fixed by using qualified module names <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/Microsoft.PowerShell.Core/about_Command_Precedence?view=powershell-5.0>, but if not it is at least worth making mention of in the documentation. For myself, i don't really need the PowerCLI, except to turn ssh on and off on our vSphere host, so I'm not really blocked anymore.
