This image shows the code leading up to the alter:
The left side of this image shows what SMO prints to the debug console after the alter, and on the right is what the script looks like before the alter:
This difference causes errors.

Start by reproducing the .Alter() behavior described in the issue, comparing the parameter list before and after altering an object, including the IsEncrypted case shown in the attached images. No source files or tests are named; done means identifying the cause of the changed parameters and confirming that the resulting script no longer causes the reported errors.
