Issue #15919 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected

You are casting the array into a string context with the curly-brace 
interpolation. This is exactly what Ruby does on its own, not something the 
Puppet DSL introduced:

    [[email protected] ~/Sandbox/puppet]% irb
    irb(main):001:0> a = [ "foo", "bar" ]
    => ["foo", "bar"]
    irb(main):002:0> puts "#{a}"
    foobar

.. not sure what we should do differently.

Bug #15919: Arrays not handled when variable is in double quotes.

Attached test_array.pp file.

This creates a virtualized user1, and assigns two dotfiles. It will look for 
the user1-dotfilename.
The problem is outlined by the two notify statements.

The first notify statement works just fine, it displays two unique dotfile 
names. This is the correct action.
  notify{ $dotfile:; }

The second notify statement places the variable in double quotes. By doing this 
is flattens the array. This is an incorrect action.
  notify{ "Parens: ${dotfile}":; }
