Nick,
You are indeed hitting a bug, this one:
https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/view.php?id=904
The workaround is to condition the getindices() so that it happens only on the
second pass, with something like this:
secondpass::
"array_keys" slist => getindices("local_array");
classes:
"secondpass" expression => "any";
Then it works fine.
