Issue #11732 has been updated by Ken Barber.
So as far as replication, if I do this in a test script:
require 'facter'
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("arp -an")
On windows I get nothing ... the entire output is caught as a string - for some
your output is going to stdout perhaps?

Bug #11732: Facter (in 1.6.x) is broken on Windows
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11732
Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Ken Barber
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.5
Keywords:
Branch:
Affected Facter version:
It's having trouble with the `arp` command that it uses to resolve
macaddresses. This problem doesn't occur in 1.6.x, just master. I think it's
running arp with a command line option that Windows doesn't support, so Windows
spits out a usage message:
<pre>
C:\> facter
Displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables used by
address resolution protocol (ARP).
ARP -s inet_addr eth_addr [if_addr]
ARP -d inet_addr [if_addr]
ARP -a [inet_addr] [-N if_addr]
-a Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current
protocol data. If inet_addr is specified, the IP and Physical
addresses for only the specified computer are displayed. If
more than one network interface uses ARP, entries for each ARP
table are displayed.
-g Same as -a.
inet_addr Specifies an internet address.
-N if_addr Displays the ARP entries for the network interface specified
by if_addr.
-d Deletes the host specified by inet_addr. inet_addr may be
wildcarded with * to delete all hosts.
-s Adds the host and associates the Internet address inet_addr
with the Physical address eth_addr. The Physical address is
given as 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by hyphens. The entry
is permanent.
eth_addr Specifies a physical address.
if_addr If present, this specifies the Internet address of the
interface whose address translation table should be modified.
If not present, the first applicable interface will be used.
Example:
> arp -s 157.55.85.212 00-aa-00-62-c6-09 .... Adds a static entry.
> arp -a .... Displays the arp table.
