Incompatibility between Get-WebApplication and Write-Progress?

Question

I can’t seem to find a reason, so I hope you can shine a light.
Following code doesn’t execute the second write-progress.
The output for get-webapplication is shown in my receive-job, so the command executes correctly.
I can execute other commands after the get-webapplication and they work fine as well.
But not write-progress

If I change the get-webapplication to get-process, then everything works ok.
Why does get-webapplication block every subsequent write-progress?

As info:

    Get-WebApplication

    Write-Progress -PercentComplete 20 -Activity "Dummy" -CurrentOperation "testing2"

}

$job.ChildJobs[0].progress

Hi,

I tested the function on PowerShell 5.1 and it worked well for me.
