This script:

switch ('') {
    default {
        $localVar = Get-Random

        if ($localVar -gt 0) {
            Write-Output -InputObject ($localVar * -1)

            #A return or break inside this if-block causes
            #a PSAvoidUninitializedVariable warning
            #even though all variables are initialized.

            return
        }

        Write-Output -InputObject $localVar
    }
}

will cause a PSAvoidUninitializedVariable warning.

If "return" is replaced with "break", the same warning shows up.
