Puppet users - Apr 2013 - Attributes in user resource causing an error (PE 2.8.1)

I am trying to use the attributes field for AIX user attributes.  I 
currently have:

user { "test1":
        ensure => present,
        uid => ''123456'',
        gid => ''system'',
        shell => ''/bin/ksh'',
        home => ''/home/test1'',
        attributes => ["login=true", "rlogin = true"],
        managehome => true,
}



when I apply this I get 

err: /Stage[main]//User[test1]: Could not evaluate: private method
`select'' 
> called for nil:NilClass
>
I have tried to just have a single attribute with and without the brackets 
[].  As soon as a remove that field everything else works.

From the code, it looks like this needs to be specified as a hash. Could 
you try that and let me know if it works?

Strangely enough, there seems to be some code which complains if it''s
not a
hash, but does so by telling you it needs to be a list of key=value pairs. 
That should definitely be fixed, at least.

as a hash (  attributes => { ''rlogin'' =>
''true''} , or attributes => {
rlogin => ''true''} )   I get:

Parameter attributes failed on User[test1]: Attributes value pairs must be 
separated by an = at /home/xxx/puppet/test.pp:9

if I replace the => with = I get:
Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at
''=''; expected
''}'' at /home/xxx/puppet/test.pp:7 on node client1
