Why is Get-Content inserting extra subdirectories in directory path

can please @ following 6 lines of code , explain output i'm receiving?  i've been looking @ code segment week trying figure out possibly wrong , can't.  @ point i'm convinced it's weird powershell bug - i'd happy if here prove me wrong, explain i'm seeing , tell me how correct it.  "logit" irrelevant issue - it's simple function calls tee-object print line screen , write file.  added here string code inspect line looks after substitution.  value of $servertype when code snippet runs "core" (as can see in output).

> echo "substituting data 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 output above code...

2015-01-28t13:54:05 - jim -  - substituting data 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 not exist.
2015-01-28t13:54:05 - jim -  - here string is: inputfile =  get-content "c:temp\setup-core\updates\media\travel\con.html"

i deleted error info above output illustrate problem more (i'll paste below).  problem path cannot found has first 2 directory levels duplicated (c:\temp\setup-core\temp\setup-core\...) instead of (c:\temp\setup-core\...) - note difference in case of word "core". 

how , why happening - , need make work properly?

thanks in advance takes time reply.  here missing lines output above (i'm pretty sure it's not relevant):

at c:\temp\setup-core\scripts\travel.ps1:196 char:14

hi tenly,

check path using:
missing "\" after "c:".
