autoloading fails to find providers with pluginsync

Description

autoloading fails to appropriately qualify provider's filenames when loadall providers on load of the type. Using a few puts at the right places (and failing instead of ignoring on "file not found", this log was generated: 

load: processing 'group'
load: Trying to load /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/type/group.rb
loadall
loadall: trying to load 'puppet/provider/group/smbldap'
Could not autoload group: no such file to load -- puppet/provider/group/smbldap

Adding the pluginpath to RUBYLIB is a easy workaround and demonstrates that the missing qualification is the root problem.

Do you have your libdir set to something other than the plugindest? In Puppet::Util::Autoload#searchpath, it clearly searches the libdir, which should thus catch any files in the plugindest (which defaults to being equal to the libdir).

I'm also seeing this. libdir and plugindest are set to the same thing (/var/lib/puppet/lib). Setting RUBYLIB=/var/lib/puppet/lib before puppet is run makes the providers work.
