0.25.x upgrade gives "Parameter notify failed"

[Darrell Fuhriman]

In testing the move to 0.25 (tried with both 0.25.0 and 0.25.1rc1), I'm now getting the following error, seemingly everywhere that notify/require is used:

For example:

err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Parameter notify failed: No title provided and title '{"title"=>"smb", "type"=>"Service", "builtin_type"=>nil}' is not a valid resource reference

or 

err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Parameter require failed: No title provided and title '{"title"=>"/var/tmp/gwc", "type"=>"File", "builtin_type"=>nil}' is not a valid resource reference

There's nothing particularly interesting about the manifests that I can see.

Any ideas?

As an additional piece of info, 0.24.8 client continue to function as
normal, even though the server is 0.25.1rc1

really scratching my head now..

Is it that you're using Service[smb] rather than Service['smb'] ?

I thought of that, but that doesn't seem to matter - the other example
I give uses single quotes everywhere, and other failures are similar.

Well, I've tracked it down a bit further.

I updated activerecord to 2.3.4 before installing puppet, since I'm
using storedconfigs. If I remove this gem and leave 2.2.2 installed,
everything seems to work as expected.

So, tracking it down a bit further, it seems that everything works
with AR <= 2.3.2 but breaks with AR >=2.3.3, whether or not
storedconfigs are enabled.

I guess I should open a ticket, eh?
