That sounds like a parse-order problem. At the time the Service
declaration is parsed, Package[zabbix-agent] has not (yet) been
declared for the node.

The bit about "Service[undef]" in your log also suggests an ordering
issue. I conclude that the two manifest fragments you present are at
least in different classes, if not different files, and that
occasionally puppet tries to parse the latter class before parsing a
declaration (not definition) of the former.
