ValidateLength error when using securestrings

[martgras]

Description

When using the min/maxLength attreibutes for securestring parameters we fail with
"Cannot validate argument on parameter 'SecurePass'. The ValidateLength attribute cannot be applied to a parameter that is not a string or string[] parameter. Make the parameter a string or string[] parameter."

Note: this only happens if the parameter values are not supplied and powershell prompts for it.
In this case we seem to apply the ValidateLength attribute which is not valid for the securestring data type

Steps to reproduce

 $armtemplate = @'
   {
   "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
   "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
   "parameters": {
   "SecurePass": {
       "type": "securestring",
       "minLength": 6,
       "maxLength": 255,
       "metadata": {
         "description": "Password Must have at least 6 and no more than 255 characters"
       }
     }
   },
   "resources" : [],
   "outputs": {
     "S1": {
       "type": "string",
       "value": "[parameter('SecurePass')]"
     }
   }
 }

@martgras Could you please provide full Debug and Error output:

1. Debug output:
   • Set $DebugPreference='Continue' before running the repro
   • Run the repro and paste the resulting debug stream in the below code block (click edit to see):

   # Debug output:

2. Error output:
   • Run Resolve-AzureRmError and paste the output in the below code block:

   # Error output:

[martgras]

Debug output shows the same output as without using the debug option
From what I can see the problem is in line 265 TemplateUtility.cs - the ValidateLengthAttribute is applied to a securestring type but powershell allows the ValidateLengthAttribute only for strings

// TemplateUtility.cs Line 265

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(parameter.Value.MinLength) &&
                !string.IsNullOrEmpty(parameter.Value.MaxLength))
