I am receiving the following error when trying to use the latest puppetlabs-apache module from github (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache):

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter identifier at /etc/puppet/environments/apache_update/modules/apache/manifests/mod.pp:40 on node zordon.mydomain.com Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

My node config looks like:

node 'zordon.mydomain.com' {
  include template::common
  include template::puppetagent
  include template::lamp

  User::Create 

  sudo::conf { 'joe':
    priority => 60,
    content  => 'joe  ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL',
    require  => User::Create['joe'],
  }
}

The template::lamp class is what uses apache module:

class template::lamp {
  include myfirewall

  Firewall 
  Firewall 

  class { 'apache':
  }

  class { 'apache::mod::php':
  }

  class { 'apache::mod::ssl':
  }

  class { 'mysql::server':
  }
}

It looks like serverfault markup is getting garbled on Puppet realize statements. The User::Create and Firewall lines are just realizing a user and 2 firewall rules.

I have verified that the /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/type/a2mod.rb type has the identifier parameter and it is the same MD5 as the server. I am using Puppet 3.0.1 on both agent and master. Any idea what may cause this?
