Set-Location -Path + fails because it mishandles the history #14279
Description
Steps to reproduce
Open a PowerShell 7.1 window, navigate to a safe folder for experimentation, and issue the following commands:
# Create a folder called '[Meta]'. Careful! '-Type Folder' doesn't work!
New-Item -Name '[Meta]' -Type Directory
# Output:
#
# Directory: C:\Users\FrankAbignaleXIII\Desktop
#
# Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
# ---- ------------- ------ ----
# d---- 2020-11-27 23:37 [Meta]
#
# Change the current folder to '[Meta]'
Set-Location -Path '.\`[Meta`]\'
# Navigate back to "Desktop"
Set-Location -Path '-'
# Navigate forward to '[Meta]'
Set-Location -Path '+'Expected behavior
After following the reproduction steps, the user expects the current folder to be the '[Meta]' folder.
Actual behavior
In PowerShell 7.1, I received the following error:
Set-Location: Cannot find path 'C:\Users\FrankAbignaleXIII\Desktop\[Meta]' because it does not exist.
