Must be either the way you wrote it
what do the { } brackets mean, or

Looks like when using the summation that the symbolic confuses v*v^T with v^T*v
When you thought it can't get worse, then PTC came and gave us Prime 6 with new symbolic!
Primes new symbolic doesn't even bother to evaluate the expression and fails with a silly meaningless error message:
