Run puppet apply with a manifest with a file block which uses a source which contains UTF-8 text.

Works as expected normally, however if the --show-diff flag is passed then it bails out with an error such as:

Error: /Stage[main]/Users::Bobtfish/File[/home/bobtfish/.gitconfig]/content: change from

{md5}8134292fa03d49e18941395afa85904e to {md5}

3fb27c4b9babe9f7808916e49bce3dbb failed: "\xE2" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8

Note - this only happens when there are differences to be applied (i.e. when there are diffs to show)
