Puppet users - Jan 2008 - bug or behavior change?

While upgrading to 0.24.1 i encountered some dependency failures. 

It can be reproduced with the following snippet.

    file { "puppet-test": path => "/tmp/puppet.test",
ensure => file }
    exec { "/bin/true 1": require => File["puppet-test"]
}
    exec { "/bin/true 2": require =>
File["/tmp/puppet.test"] }

0.23.2 handles this as it always has, but 0.24.1 produces an error 
"Could not find dependency File[/tmp/puppet.test]".

Is this a bug or a behavioral change in 0.24?  Seems to me it would be a 
bug.

This is a bug, and I''ve reproduced it; I''d appreciate it if
you''d file
it.

Also, this kind of test is easier with the ''notify'' resource
type than
the exec type.
