ConvertFrom-String using a template not parsing as expected

I am trying to leverage the new ConvertFrom-String commandlet in the Windows Management Production Preview 5.

I have a $Sample of the string I am trying to parse data from and the $Template that I am using.

I am getting most of the data that I am looking for but for some reason am not getting all of it.

I have read a number of blog articles about the topic and have trouble shot the parsing with ConvertFrom-String Buddy but am not able to get it to extract all of the data I need.

Can you please give me insight into what I might be doing wrong that is causing most of the data to be captured but not all of it?

Thank you in advance for any help or insight.

My setup is quite the same (i5/16Gb/Win8.1 64bit/PS 5.0.10514.6).

This is a bit crazy ; only the last line is a problem.

1 - If you isolate it completely and make it the only line in the template and in the sample, it works.

Code :

$Sample = @"  
  ALL ITEMS           PASSWORD LEVEL
"@

$TemplateThatFails = @"
  {Zebraconfig*:{PasswordLevel:ALL ITEMS}}           PASSWORD LEVEL    
"@

Write-Host "Using ConvertFrom-String with the TemplateThatFails"
$startTime = Get-Date
$Sample | ConvertFrom-String -TemplateContent $TemplateThatFails | select -ExpandProperty ZebraConfig
$endTime = Get-Date
$elapsed = "{0:N2}" -f (New-TimeSpan $startTime $endTime).TotalSeconds
"$elapsed seconds elapsed"

Output :

PasswordLevel
-------------
ALL ITEMS    
0,13 seconds elapsed

2 - If you move it just above the previous one (in the sample and in the template), you don't get any error but the data is mixed up.

Code :
