On both Fedora 18+ and Ubuntu 13.10+, whilst using Puppet 3.6.2, the
clientcert line in hiera.yaml prevents loom from working. Specifically
the error message that appears is:

[192.168.50.10] out: Error: Error from DataBinding 'hiera' while looking
up 'sudo::enable': (<unknown>): found character that cannot start any
token while scanning for the next token at line 7 column 5 on node

It is possible that I have misconfigured my Puppet manifests and that is
causing this error. However removing the %{::clientcert} line from
hiera.yaml does not seem to have any negative consequences.

If you'd like a better, more minimal reproduction of this issue please let
me know; I have some Vagrant/Puppet scripts lying around.
