The issue you're running into is due to the sensitive value being
interpolated:

content => "${foo}\n"

If you reference the Sensitive variable directly, then it will work as
expected:

content => $foo

This issue and some possible solutions have been discussed in
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10092. For example, Henrik
suggested a `rewrap` function
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10093.
