Hi Fred,

Thank you very much, your suggestion to use complex arguments style was 
spot on. However, for some reason I couldn't get the parser to accept 
local_action and my rule took on yet a different form. Here it is, in case 
it helps somebody!

    - name: Make {{ hostname }}
      ec2:
            image: "{{ ami }}"
            id: "{{ hostname }}"
            instance_tags: '{"Name":"{{ hostname }}", "type":"{{ group }}"}'
            instance_type: "{{ type }}"
            count: "{{ count }}"
            aws_access_key: "{{ ec2_access_key }}"
            aws_secret_key: "{{ ec2_secret_key }}"
            region: "{{ region }}"
            keypair: "{{ keypair }}"
            group_id: "{{ group_id }}"
            vpc_subnet_id: "{{ vpc_subnet_id }}"
            volumes:
                - device_name: "{{ root_dev_name }}"
                  volume_size: "{{ root_dev_size }}"
            state: present
            wait: true
      register: machine_info
      delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
