Inconsistent shortcode evaluation in template

The following show inconsistent behavior related to shortcodes in templates. I have JCI set to execute shortcodes then twig, and line 3 outputs the the result of the shortcode like I expect, but line 2 returns the length of the shortcode itself

{% set tmp = '[jsoncontentimporterpro nameoftemplate="trendData"]' %}
trendData Length: {{ tmp | length }}</br> {# Returns 51, which is the exact length of the shortcode itself. should be closer to 500 #}
{{tmp}}</br> {# Correctly displays the output of the shortcode #}
