Because of the consistent manner of "ensure" parameters' use in
Puppet's built-in resources, and the associated conventions even for
custom and defined types, I would be very surprised if I ever declared
something with "ensure => 'absent'" but that specification was
overridden to the opposite.  Indeed, I would be at least somewhat
surprised by that with *any* parameter.  Don't give me the option if
you don't intend to honor it.

Inasmuch as this is for testing purposes, however, that's a different
story.  I don't think I would test in the way you are doing, but then
again, maybe I would.
