Issue #13070 has been updated by eric sorenson.

This starts working again in 3.x, I did a reverse bisect (bad is good and good 
is bad) and found I could make it work with just a one-line change that marks a 
file loaded before hitting Kernel.load instead of afterwards:

<pre>
diff --git a/lib/puppet/util/autoload.rb b/lib/puppet/util/autoload.rb
index 8051d01..b6f7a5f 100644
--- a/lib/puppet/util/autoload.rb
+++ b/lib/puppet/util/autoload.rb
@@ -107,8 +107,8 @@ class Puppet::Util::Autoload
       name = File.basename(file).chomp(".rb").intern
       next if loaded?(name)
       begin
-        Kernel.require file
         loaded(name, file)
+        Kernel.require file
       rescue SystemExit,NoMemoryError
         raise
       rescue Exception => detail
</pre>

This seems like a more targeted, minimal fix than the one in Jeff's pull 
request but the underlying issue is still pretty mysterious.
