I think the issue is with the collection of virtual resource.

Does it work better it you use:
User <| title == $title |> { ensure => 'absent', require =>
Class["users::admin::absent"] }
and you remove the require line?
Basically the require function adds a require link between the current
class and the required class. Since it is used in a definition, I'm not
sure what it does exactly (definition are some kind of special things).
