That does look a lot like issue 16221, but I'm uncertain whether it's
really the same because classes are special, and the way their parameters
are bound to them is especially special. I don't know whether what you are
doing should be expected to work or not.
With that said, you seem to be going to a lot of extra effort here.
Automated data binding will do exactly what you appear to want if you
change the hiera keys to suit. Then you can just do
include 'postfix'
, which is better form for most purposes than the resource-like syntax (see
the best practices commentary at
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_classes.html#include-like-vs-resource-like).
For that to work, the keys must have form
<qualified::class::name>::<param_name>, so "postfix::email_user" for
example.
