I'll check this later today and close the issue if it's fixed.

Should this issue have been closed by #26? It seems so.
from poshspec.
Unfortunately this isn't fixed. I think it'd make sense to change the package selection approach:
So instead of this:
Get-Package -Name "$Target" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -First 1
do this:
# Requires PSv4 (http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2014/10/22/foreach-and-where-magic-methods/)
(Get-Package -Name "$Target" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Where({$_.Name -eq "$Target"},'First')
IMO Get-Package is to blame since they use an implicit wildcard for the Name attribute:
PS C:\> Get-Package -Name 'Microsoft Visual C++' | Select Name,Version
Name Version

Looking back at my original example where I tell Get-Package to get me a package with the name of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
it does the following which is always going to fail the current workaround with Select-Object -First 1
PS C:\> Get-Package -Name 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable' | Select Name,Version
Name Version
---- -------
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64) 8.0.61000

Looks like this was fixed either by an updated PackageManagement Module or Powershell version as I don't see this issue on Window 10.
In any case it seems like simply sorting by name may fix your example.
PS C:\> Get-Package | where name -like "*C++ 2005*" | select name, version
Name Version
---- -------
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64) 8.0.61000
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable 8.0.50727.42
PS C:\> Get-Package | where name -like "*C++ 2005*" | select name, version | sort name
Name Version
---- -------
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable 8.0.50727.42
