In particular, in the example code it evaluates to an empty string. That's
why the files are going to the expected location when the define is used
only once, and why there is a duplicate resource when the define is used
more than once.

No, having two declarations of the Preferences directory will never work,
but see below.

That is the way I would recommend doing it. Recursive directories cause no
end of headaches.
Nevertheless, although you cannot declare the directory multiple times, you
can give it it multiple source directories and instruct it to use them
all. That would be closer to the approach currently being attempted. It
might look something like this:
#
# Class parameter $applications is expected to provide either
# a single application (module) name or an array of such names.
#
class mac_managed_preferences($applications) {
$preference_sources = regsubst($applications, '^.*$',
'puppet:///modules/\0/Preferences')
file { '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences':
ensure => 'directory',
owner => 'root',
group => 'wheel',
mode => '0600',
recurse => true,
source => $preference_sources,
sourceselect => 'all'
}
}
