Issue #9586 has been updated by David Kitchen.
I'm seeing the same error message on CentOS 6.
But you'll have to forgive me for being a CentOS n00b as well as a Puppet n00b.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Download and install CentOS 6 i386 DVD to a virtual machine
2) Execute this sequence of commands:
su
yum install ruby
wget http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/facter/facter-1.6.3.tar.gz
tar -xvzf facter-1.6.3.tar.gz
cd facter-1.6.3
./install.rb
cd ../
wget http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-2.7.6.tar.gz
tar -xvzf puppet-2.7.6.tar.gz
cd puppet-2.7.6
./install.rb
exit
puppet resource user root
3) Observe the error message:
Could not run: Could not find a default provider for user
If you need me to do something, you'll have to be extremely explicit in the
instructions, I come from a Debian background and today is day #1 of trying
CentOS and I'm fumbling like mad.

Default user provider should be useradd(8). ProviderUseradd is looking for
'chage' binary which isn't used on OpenBSD. The 'Puppet OpenBSD' doc doesn't
have anything applicable. This seems to be related to #4963 (Solaris) where a
workaround was to use passwd(1) instead of chage and updated options for
min/max password age.
Applying the following modifications works around the issue although is not
likely to be correct:
--- useradd.rb.bak Fri Sep 16 23:26:59 2011
+++ useradd.rb Sat Sep 17 00:15:03 2011
@@ -3,13 +3,13 @@
Puppet::Type.type(:user).provide :useradd, :parent =>
Puppet::Provider::NameService::ObjectAdd do
desc "User management via `useradd` and its ilk. Note that you will need
to install the `Shadow Password` Ruby library often known as ruby-libshadow to
manage user passwords."

value.is_a? Integer
I suspect a modified provider is required for OpenBSD since the useradd(8)
utility doesn't support the -m/-M options for min/max age, but rather supports
these options instead for account and password expiration:
-e expiry-time
Sets the default time at which new accounts will expire. It
should be entered in the form ``month day year'', where month is
the month name (the first three characters are sufficient), day
is the day of the month, and year is the year. Time in seconds
since the Epoch (UTC) is also valid. A value of 0 can be used to
disable this feature.
-f inactive-time
Sets the time at which passwords of new accounts will expire.
Also see the -e option above.
OpenBSD's useradd(8) is derived from NetBSD's so the same situation is likely
to occur there.
