Facter appears to be buggy here, and I encourage you to file a ticket about
it. (It should ignore subdirectories in the executable search path, as the
'which' command it is trying to emulate does.)
In the meantime, however, it appears that to trigger the bug under your
particular circumstances, you must have directory /etc in your path.
That's pretty non-standard; do you actually need it? I think you could
work around the issue by ensuring that it's not in your path. At worst,
you should be able to open a shell with a sanitized path, and launch the
module tool from there.
