It seems as though puppet completely ignores terminal type settings, and force 
outputs some kind of hard coded color escapes, if color is not disabled in 
puppet.conf.

This is a bug, and an ugly one. literally.

I specifically set my TERM=vt100, to avoid color output.

Most color-happy programs respect this. 
For example,
TERM=xterm emacs file.pp
gives color syntax highlighting.
TERM=vt100 emacs file.pp
does not

Puppet does not check terminal capabilities for color before using it, but it 
should.
