The purpose of the test is to verify that puppet does the right thing
when it has multiple locations for applications on the Ruby load path
– not to verify the presence or absence of core applications.  Those
are checked to verify, in essence, the sanity of the test before we
run the real one.

So, I agree with your assessment, but I think it is kind of a
distraction from the main purpose.  Is that reasonable?  It wouldn't
be hard to revisit this and correct it...
