Puppet users - Feb 2010 - erb getting the default value of a define

I have a define that sets a bunch of default values:

   define virtualhost($vhostname, $vhost_template, ... , $ssl_enabled  
= false) {
     if $ssl_enabled == true {
       $extension = ''-ssl''
     } else {
       $extension = ''''
     }

     file {
       "/etc/httpd/sites-available/${vhostname}${extension}.conf":
         ensure => present,
         content => template($vhost_template),
         mode => 0644;


in the template I have a line:
# <%= ssl_enabled %>

and the specific definition is:
apache::virtualhost {
       "$title.local.twitter.com-ssl":
         vhostname => "$title.local.twitter.com",
         vhost_template =>
"twitter/staging.local.twitter.com.conf.erb",
         ssl_enabled => true;


the file is named with -ssl, but the contents of the file (produced  
with erb) produces a line:
# false

So the contents of the define() see ssl_enabled properly, but the erb  
doesn''t. Is this known?

I actually just figured out a big part of this. I have two definitions:

     apache::virtualhost {
       "$title.local.twitter.com":
         vhostname => "$title.local.twitter.com",
         vhost_template =>
"twitter/staging.local.twitter.com.conf.erb";
     }

     apache::virtualhost {
       "$title.local.twitter.com-ssl":
         vhostname => "$title.local.twitter.com",
         ssl_enabled => true,
         vhost_template =>
"twitter/staging.local.twitter.com.conf.erb";
     }

   The defaults from the first definition are used in both file  
deliveries as though its only parsing the template once then is  
caching the results, even though variables are changing that make the  
template different. If I comment out the first block the second block  
works as expected. If I reverse them then the second block gets  
overwritten by the first, regardless of which comes first.

This seems like a bug to me. Is this a known thing or should I try to  
reproduce on a smaller scale?
