Script works in PS v1, but not in PS v2

I have a function which builds an array of objects from data in an xml file.
It then returns that array.

In v1, calling the function prints the array contents in the console. In
v2, it just prints a couple of blank lines. I have put write-host statements
throughout the function and see that it is building the array correctly.

If I pipe the output of the function to a script block: % {'Item'}, I see
the correct number of items. If I pipe it to something that uses $_, I don't
see any attributes ($_.ToString()) just prints 'System.Object'. If I send $_
to get-member, I only see the few methods that System.Object provides, but
not the properties I added.

I am not very experienced in Powershell, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.
It did work in v1 however.

The script:

function Get-JobTable
{
param ([string]$machine)

$configPath = "\\" + $machine + "... path to xml file..."

$dom = new-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$dom.Load($configPath)

$jobs = @()

$dom.SelectNodes("//JobsToProcess/jobInfo") |
% {
$obj = New-Object System.Object
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "Machine" -value $machine
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "Source" -value "config"
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "JobType" -value
$_.SelectSingleNode("type").get_InnerText()
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "JobSubType" -value
$_.SelectSingleNode("subType").get_InnerText()
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "JobClassType" -value
$_.SelectSingleNode("classType").get_InnerText()
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "JobClassName" -value
$_.SelectSingleNode("className").get_InnerText()
if ($_.SelectNodes("jobParms").Count -gt 0) {
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "JobParms" -value
$_.SelectSingleNode("jobParms").get_InnerText()
}
else {
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "JobParms" -value ""
}
if ($_.SelectNodes("maxInstances").Count -gt 0) {
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "MaxInstances" -value
$_.SelectSingleNode("maxInstances").get_InnerText()
}
else {
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "MaxInstances" -value ""
}
if ($_.SelectNodes("maxSubjects").Count -gt 0) {
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "MaxSubjects" -value
$_.SelectSingleNode("maxSubjects").get_InnerText()
}
else {
$obj | add-Member -type noteProperty -name "MaxSubjects" -value ""
}
$jobs = $jobs + $obj
}

$jobs
}

OK, here's a sample file I've tested (trimmed down.) It's just a config file
for a .NET program. Thanks.

<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="JobsToProcess"
type="Fares.Mit.Configuration.ElementNormalCfgHandler, Fares.Mit.Support" />
</configSections>
<JobsToProcess>
<jobInfo>
<type>TYPE1</type>
<subType>SUBTYPE1</subType>
<classType>RT</classType>
<className>Class,Assembly</className>
</jobInfo>
<jobInfo>
<type>TYPE2</type>
<subType>SUBTYPE2</subType>
<classType>S</classType>
<className>Class,Assembly</className>
</jobInfo>
<jobInfo>
<type>TYPE3</type>
<subType>SUBTYPE3</subType>
<classType>S</classType>
<className>Class,Assembly</className>
</jobInfo>
</JobsToProc
