Along with the messages you presented, Puppet should also be logging debug 
messages giving the external commands it is running.  If it is not 
presenting any pertinent ones then that probably means it is using the Ruby 
library to obtain user information, as opposed to running an external 
command.  For instance, it might be using Etc.getpwent().  I'm not inclined 
at the moment to dig through the code to find this for you, but you could 
do it yourself.

In any event, if Puppet is retrieving the wrong information, then you 
should be concerned that other programs will do, too.  Or perhaps more 
accurately, you should be concerned that Puppet may be *right* about the 
initial state, and that its failure is in setting the desired target 
state.  You should look at your user name service configuration in 
/etc/nsswitch.conf to determine whether your system is relying any other 
user information sources than just /etc/passwd.

You should also look at the agent's debug output to determine what provider 
is selected for User resources -- that's probably near the top or each 
run's log.  Perhaps Puppet is choosing the wrong provider.
