Expected Behavior

Running the following command should work without error.

$item = Get-Item -Path "master:" -ID "{5C761140-7076-4F82-A2D9-473FDC5635C8}"
$newTemplate = Get-Item -Path "master:" -ID "{B0B6FB08-6BBE-43F2-8E36-FCE228325B63}"

Set-ItemTemplate -ID $item.ID -TemplateItem $newTemplate

Actual Behavior

An error is returned stating that the object is null.

An edge case was revealed in this Sitecore Stack Exchange question.

Turns out that the issue happens when calling item.ChangeTemplate() but can be fixed when calling TemplateManager.ChangeTemplate().

#1138 : Verbose is probably more appropriate for this message.

The developer may already know that the template is missing.
