Puppet users - Oct 2012 - Problem using exported resources with tag => $variable

Does anyone know if using variable as tag values is permitted in puppet 
2.7.19

Here is my example :

 @@custom_define { ''export'':
          tag             => $variable,
     }

Custom_define <<| tag == $variable |>>

If i set the tag to a string (e.g   tag => ''tag1'',)  it
works without
problems, however if i use a variable the exported resource is not applied.

Thanks,
Cosmin

This could be a scope issue. You may want to try $::variable or some other
prefix depending on where this variable actually is defined.

See: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scope_and_puppet.html

Yes, this should definitely work.  If it doesn''t please consider filing
a
bug at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet with an example that
reproduces the problem.

There may already be a bug filed on this issue.
