Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported command, Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Script '$a=1', with PowerShell 6.1.0-preview.1 and PSScriptAnalyzer 1.16.1. Trace the ScriptDefinition handling and output path that produces the index error; done means the command completes and reports PSUseDeclaredVarsMoreThanAssignments without an out-of-range exception.
