Here is a workaround for anyone else affected by the same issue, noting the 
caveat is it will apply on every run -

class profile::puppetdb inherits puppetdb {
  contain puppetdb
  contain puppetdb::master::config
  file {
    $ssl_dir:
      ensure => directory,
      owner  => $puppetdb_user,
      group  => $puppetdb_group,
      mode   => '0700';
    $ssl_key_path:
      ensure  => file,
      owner   => $puppetdb_user,
      group   => $puppetdb_group,
      mode    => '0640';
    $ssl_cert_path:
      ensure  => file,
      owner   => $puppetdb_user,
      group   => $puppetdb_group,
      mode    => '0644';
    $ssl_ca_cert_path:
      ensure  => file,
      owner   => $puppetdb_user,
      group   => $puppetdb_group,
      mode    => '0644';
  }
}
