Ok, I found both the explanation of why this is not creating users in
our env, and I guess a good workaround to this situation.

In our env, virtual users are not realized directly, they are realized
through a "define ssh_user" that manages authorized_keys and assigns
them to wheel.

That layer of indirection _is_ in Puppet's state, but it means that
the virtual user does not have the membership set in the "virtual"
definition.

At some point of the discussion I also lost sight of the
conditionality of the materialization (will only materialize
/matching/ resources) and I was temporarily a bit more anxious than I
should have been.

This is a relief. I still consider resource collectors dangerous, but
usable in clearly defined situations.
