I tried that; the PATH that puppet reported via exec + logoutput +
echo was very much not the path that I had set before I ran it.

I just found this:
Exec { path => "/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin" }
So clearly *that* wasn't a good test.
Ah, the joys of adminning something I didn't set up.
Anyways.
Ah.
The problem, it turns out, has naught to do with paths: "prawn-core"
being installed causes a package statement for "prawn" to not
activate with the "gem" provider.
-_-
I'ma call that a "bug" right there (and it's in the system;
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3127 ; so is the path issue;
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5207 ).
Sorry for wasting y'all's time on the wrong track.
