For such a simple substitution, you're working too hard:

user { "root":
    ensure => present,
    comment => "Root user on ${hostname}";
}

Nigel's comment is spot-on, though: use <%= blah -%> to suppress the
trailing newline.  If you are planning on doing much templating, you would
be well advised to read the ruby docs on ERB as they are the most complete.
