I found out more but it is not yet fully reproducable on arbitrary
hosts.
It appears to be related to DNS domain detection: When puppetd
completely fails
to determine the domain name of the local host AND no  "server = ..."
directive
is specified in the [puppetd] section of puppet.conf then  puppetd
does not terminate on SIGTERM.

puppetd (or maybe ruby) tries at least the following to find the
domain name:

* calls program dnsdomainname
* DNS-resolves the local hostname if it is not already fully qualified

When it runs into the problem it prints the following two error lines:

dnsdomainname: Unknown host
dnsdomainname: Unknown host

To reproduce you have to remove all "domain" and "search" lines from
/etc/resolv.conf; make sure that hostname is the short name; check
that
dnsdomainname fails with "Unknown" host and that "nslookup
<shortname>" does not
resolve. But there seems to be another contributing factor that I
could not yet
find (it is not nscd).
Then stop puppetd and run it in foreground.

Trace output:

# puppetd --no-daemonize -d -v --trace

The last line is repeated every few minutes. SIGTERM does not
terminate
puppetd.
