Issue #16137 has been updated by Justin Downing.

Interestingly enough, part of the problem here relates to the way 
/usr/sbin/service is interacting with the puppet startup. I tried this using a 
puppetmaster this time:

    root@ppt01:~# service puppetmaster stop
    * Stopping puppet master                                                    
                                                                                
                [ OK ] 
    root@ppt01:~# service puppetmaster start
    * Starting puppet master                                                    
                                                                                
                       Error: Could not get application-specific default 
settings: couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~/.puppet'
    [fail]
    root@ppt01:~# /etc/init.d/puppetmaster start
    * Starting puppet master                                                    
                                                                                
                [ OK ] 
    root@ppt01:~# puppet --version
    3.0.0-rc4
    root@ppt01:~# which service
    /usr/sbin/service

I bootstrapped a new server on EC2 today with 3.0rc4 from Puppetlabs apt repo. 
However, the service will not start:

    root@tst01:~# service puppet start
    * Starting puppet agent       Error: Could not get application-specific 
default settings: couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~/.puppet'    
[fail]
