Ah, my bad. Most 'ensure' properties do default to 'present' (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/property/ensure.rb), but the File resource's is a special case, with no default value (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/file/ensure.rb). When file content is specified, however, whether via the 'content' property or the 'source' property, syncing the resource involves ensuring the file is present and has the specified content. Thus, use of either of those properties effectively implies something similar to "ensure => 'file'".
