Bug #17799: Scope problem in 2.7.12 (PE 2.5.3)

Copy-paste from the mailing list:
<pre>
I was playing around with scopes, and I noticed the following
behaviour, which strikes me as odd? This was done with Puppet
Enterprise 2.5.3 which is really Puppet 2.7.12.
I'm not sure what I would expect, quite likely an error message or at
the very least 'mysql-server' package gettign installed. Instead, it
just seems to choose the top-scope variable 'mysql'

$package = 'mysql'

class mysql {
  package { $mysql_server::package:
    ensure => present
  }
}

class mysql_server {
  include mysql
  $package = 'mysql-server'
}

include mysql_server


This yields:
[root@master test]# puppet apply manifests/init.pp
notice: /Stage[main]/Mysql/Package[mysql]/ensure: created
notice: Finished catalog run in 6.25 seconds
</pre>
