Interesting; all the systems I looked at were REG_EXPAND_SZ. It looks like 
if you insert a %variable% via the GUI, Windows will change it from REG_SZ 
to REG_EXPAND_SZ for you (and back again if you remove all the 
%variables%). I wonder if the windows_env puppet module should do that?

I've done the %variable% in path before without issue and did a quick test 
before posting, but some further curiosity fueling googling suggests there 
may be gotchas that I was not previously aware of. To the OP: I'd be 
interested to hear if you have any such issues.
