In fact, I would be very surprised indeed to find that PuppetLabs had intentionally broken anything in the open source project. Indeed, the fact that it is open source rather protects against it, for any breakage PL might hypothetically introduce could and surely would be fixed by third parties. In all likelihood, the project would fork, which would not be a good result for PL.
Instead, I think the Enterprise version adds careful installation engineering and testing (among other things) to ensure that everything works out of the box. That includes managing third party gems -- versions, installation locations, etc. -- so that they work correctly with the Puppet installation. There are any number of ways they otherwise might fail to do so, by no fault of PL's, and I think it's likely that you have stumbled on one of those.
