It definitely looks like you're hitting 4487, as Nigel said.

Right now the fix for that isn't yet available in a released version of
Puppet.  If you're comfortable running a pre-release version, the fix is
in the 2.6.x branch of the git repository.

It will be in the next point release of the 2.6.x series, if you don't
feel comfortable running a pre-release version of Puppet.
