Issue #2451 has been updated by Peter Meier.

http://www.wellho.net/mouth/2300_What-does-x-on-a-linux-directory-mean-.html 
gave me some reasons, why you'd like to have it like that. on the other side we 
might come with problems while recursively managing a directory.

for sure the best would be to not set the +x and to have maybe something like a 
auto_x_bit_on_directory option for the file resource type, to get the old 
behaviour back.

if we're going to introduce the more strict way: this change might break a lot 
of existing configurations and we should first give a possiblitly to force the 
strict way and give a deprecation warning on the old way and then in a next 
major release change it to the other way.

Bug #2451: File type does not set a folder permission properly
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2451

Author: Larry Ludwig
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.8
Keywords: 


If you do:

file { '/tmp/test':
        mode => '644',
        ensure => directory,
}

[r...@localhost manifests]# puppet resource_defaults.pp --verbose --debug
debug: Creating default schedules
debug: Failed to load library 'ldap' for feature 'ldap'
debug: Finishing transaction -606516548 with 0 changes
debug: //File[/tmp/test]: Changing mode
debug: //File[/tmp/test]: 1 change(s)
notice: //File[/tmp/test]/mode: mode changed '777' to '755'
debug: Finishing transaction -605478848 with 1 changes

The mode set it NOT correct it should be set to 644 for that folder.  This is 
because of security reasons.
