PowerShell Core 6.0.4 returns:
{
"abc": "'def'"
}

WSManStackVersion 3.0This would appear to be because the StringEscapeHandling setting is set to Default in
If the StringEscapeHandling setting is set to [Newtonsoft.Json.StringEscapeHandling]::EscapeHtml then the JSON string that is generated matches what is returned by Windows PowerShell.
