My understanding is that it would be expanded to this:
host { "puppet":
ensure => absent,
}
host { "puppet.aao.gov.au":
ensure => present,
ip => "192.231.166.36",
host_aliases => ["puppet", ["aatlxha.aao.gov.au", "aatlxha"] ],
}
Try putting that in a test manifest and see what happens. If that doesn't
compile, try this instead
$hostaliases = ["aatlxha.aao.gov.au", "aatlxha"]
host { "puppet":
ensure => absent,
}
host { "puppet.aao.gov.au":
ensure => present,
ip => "192.231.166.36",
host_aliases => ["puppet", $hostaliases ],
}
If so, you probably need to change the syntax in your define. I'm hoping
there's a syntax that tells puppet to join 2 arrays.

Sounds like a minor bug to me. I'd try to see if putting a space at the end of
an alias is allowed, but reproduces this. If so, I'd file a bug so it at least
gives a warning.
