Why is Get-Content inserting extra subdirectories in directory path

Question

Can someone please look at the following 6 lines of code and explain the output I'm receiving?  I've been looking at the code segment for a week trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong and I can't.  At this point I'm convinced it's a
weird powershell bug - but I'd be happy if someone here could prove me wrong, explain what I'm seeing and tell me how to correct it.  "logit" is irrelevant to the issue - it's just a simple function which calls tee-object to print the line to
the screen and write it to a file.  I added the here string code just to inspect what the line looks like after substitution.  The value of $servertype when this code snippet runs is "Core" (as you can see in the output).
> echo "Substituting data into C:Temp\Setup-$servertype\updates\Media\travel\con.html" | logit
> $here = @"
> inputfile =  get-content "C:Temp\Setup-$servertype\updates\Media\travel\con.html"
> "@
> $inputfile = get-content "C:Temp\Setup-$servertype\updates\Media\travel\con.html"
> echo "The here string is: $here" | logit
Here is the output from the above code...
2015-01-28T13:54:05 - jim -  - Substituting data into C:Temp\Setup-CORE\updates\Media\travel\con.html
get-content : Cannot find path 'C:\Temp\Setup-Core\Temp\Setup-CORE\updates\Medi
a\travel\con.html' because it does not exist.
2015-01-28T13:54:05 - jim -  - The here string is: inputfile =  get-content "C:Temp\Setup-CORE\updates\Media\travel\con.html"
I deleted the extra error info from the above output to illustrate the problem more clearly (I'll paste it below).  The problem is that the path that cannot be found has the first 2 directory levels duplicated (C:\Temp\Setup-Core\Temp\Setup-CORE\...)
instead of (C:\Temp\Setup-CORE\...) - note the difference in the case of the word "Core". 
How and why could this be happening - and what do I need to do to make this work properly?
Thanks in advance to anybody who takes the time to reply.  Here are the missing lines from the output above (I'm pretty sure it's not relevant):
At C:\temp\setup-CORE\scripts\travel.ps1:196 char:14

@jrv - Please learn to be more polite and less like a pompous ass.
I've been staring at the problem for a week before reaching out for help.  Yes it's a stupid typo that I should have seen during one of the dozens of times I reviewed the code - but I didn't.  I'll bet you've encountered stupid mistakes before
too.  Posting a rude, arrogant comment on this thread after someone had already answered my question is something only a jerk would do.
Please learn to read the messages.
I said please.  How polite do you want it.  You need to learn to use the information that is right in front of you.  It willsave you all of those wasted weeks caused by refusing to take well intended advice.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
