Figured it out myself. Because Powershell works with .net objects rather than text, you need to use get-content to expose the contents of the text files. So to perform what I was trying to do in the question, use:
compare-object (get-content one.txt) (get-content two.txt)

They work the same. One thing to note is sometimes the two can get out of sync. In that case you'll need to restart the logical disk management service and restart at least the GUI.
(I feel that the cli version is less likely to trip in that situation, but it's also been a while since I last managed to sufficiently break things.)
