Puppet uses those methods to scan the registry looking for installed applications, and is likely the cause for the problem you're seeing. See https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-2937?focusedCommentId=87973&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-87973 for more information. Puppet 4.x ships with ruby 2.1.x, which switched to using wide versions of the registry APIs, so I think that's why it's working in that case.
