I would say that this cmdlet wasn't written correctly. First, since it didn't succeed it should have emitted an error object which would have caused $? to return false which you could have checked or trapped. Second, you can't suppress the error message using -ea 0. It looks like this snapin is using the Host api to write an error string to the host console. That's a spew!! For now, you could do what EBGreen suggests:

$msg = powershell.exe -nologo update-tfsworkspace "C:\doesnotexist\" -recurse -version T 2>&1

Just watch out for all the text your profile script spits out when a new instance of PowerShell starts up.
