Is there a file of the same or similar size among the managed files for that node? The temp file could be a copy that Puppet is (or was) in the process of downloading, before moving the complete file to its final destination. The file name seems to indicate that it is from July 25, so if it's still there now then something has probably gone wrong. In that case, shut down the agent, remove the file, then restart the agent. You might also consider checking your logs to see whether Puppet has anything useful to say about it.
