Issue #22051 has been updated by Josh Cooper.

Thanks Dustin. There are several gotchas when trying to do this mapping. For 
example, there are many ACL combinations that can't be expressed in POSIX mode 
bits (such as deny ACE). Also in Windows, the owner can be a group, and the 
group can be a user. Fun times.

Bug #22051: Windows mode bits are not handled symmetrically

As far as I can tell, Windows mode bits are read as CCE, where C is the 
creator/owner perms, and E is the everyone perms.  So a file that's rwx for 
creator/owner but with no perms for anyone else would appear to puppet as 770.  
If you have permissions bits with different user and group triplets, Puppet 
resets the permissions on every run.

For example,

    file {
        'c:/foo.txt':
            mode => 0644;
    }

will change the mode from 0664 to 0644 on every run.

It seems like some folding of bits in the provider could work around this 
pretty easily.
