Why? How can I stop this?
It has nothing to do with Puppet. While the filesystem is mounted on / u01/app, the permissions (and all other properties) on that directory are those of the root of the mounted filesystem, not those of the underlying mount point. You can manage the permissions (and everything else) of the mounted filesystem via all the normal tools. If you dismount the filesystem then you should see the underlying mount point's own permissions again. Note that it is tricky with Puppet to manage both a mount point and the root of a filesystem mounted there, because neither Puppet nor the system itself can distinguish the two very well.
