Puppet users - Sep 2011 - Accessing class variables set in another run stage

I have a class (pop_vars) that sets variables for other classes to consume.
This class runs in a separate stage, before any other stages or classes.
I''ve tried to distill this down to the example below.

However, I''m getting:

  (Scope(Class[Apt_repos])) Could not look up qualified variable
    ''pop_vars::somevar''; class pop_vars has not been evaluated

in the Puppetmaster''s log output when one particular class (in a later
run
stage) tries to access these variables. This only occurs when this *one*
class tries to access these variables; other classes access them without a
problem.

This seems a lot like http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4778, but
I''m
running the 2.6.2-5 packages from Debian squeeze, which includes the fix for
#4778 (65ef24e5...)

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to do this?

stage { ''var_init'':
	before => Stage[''repos''],
}
stage { ''repos'':
	before => Stage[''main''],
}

node default {
	class { ''pop_vars'':
		stage => ''var_init'',
	}

	include base::debian
