Thanks, testing in our lab does show that this fixes the issue. We'll update our configs and run with it.
My primary question is, why? How are cfengine configs processed? We assumed that they're processed in place, so that when cf.copy is processed, it hits the import statements and processes those in place. Obviously, this is not the case otherwise things would have continued to work as they are currently setup.
