I'm not able to reproduce the behavior you describe. defer seems to
work as expected. For example:
admin@ip-10-0-0-87:~$ ec2-metadata --ami-id
ami-id: ami-0544719b13af6edc3
admin@ip-10-0-0-87:~$ sudo cat /var/lib/cloud/instance/user-data.txt
#cloud-config
write_files:
- content: |
testing. this file should be owned by the dynamically created user
path: /test-file
owner: admin:admin
defer: true
admin@ip-10-0-0-87:~$ ls -l /test-file
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 67 Jul 13 16:59 /test-file
And in /var/log/cloud-init.log we see it being handled as expected:

I note that your cloud-config attempts to set the locale:
> #cloud-config
> locale: de_DE.UTF-8
I suspect that that's failing (see #955733) and interfering with
subsequent module execution. If you remove the `locale` setting, does
your userdata work as expected?
noah
