Oh, that was easier than expected: rspec-puppet does not provide a default set of facts to your tests. Without any facts, puppet assumes your "host" OS as test environment. Since your test is targeting a Linux machine, when running the tests on Windows, this assumption is wrong.
To fix, use rspec-puppet-facts <https://github.com/mcanevet/rspec-puppet-facts> in your tests to provide prefab fact sets to your tests. The pdk ships a copy, but you'll have to add it to your Gemfile (or use the Gemfile from the pdk-module-template (e.g. copying over from a `pdk new module` run). PDK-428 <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDK-428> will make that easier, soon. https://github.com/puppetlabs/pdk-module-template/blob/master/object_templates/class_spec.erb is the default class test, and the rspec-puppet-facts README has more explanations.
