I'm not familiar with the syntax you're using but the below worked for me using 'puppet apply grp-usr.pp' on my laptop where grp-usr.pp contained:
group { 'poc':
ensure => present,
gid => '1002'
}
user { 'one':
ensure => present,
uid => '1005',
gid => '1002',
require => Group['poc']
}
user { 'two':
ensure => present,
uid => '1006',
gid => '1002',
require => Group['poc']
}
The run produced no errors and
grep poc /etc/group
produced:
poc:x:1002:
with
egrep 'one|two' /etc/passwd
producing (with a couple of extraneous entries):
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
whoopsie:x:109:116::/nonexistent:/bin/false
two:x:1006:1002::/home/two:
one:x:1005:1002::/home/one:

I haven't used the "allowdupe" option, so I don't know if it works for
GIDs, but supposedly this works:
user { 'user1':
uid => 1000, gid => 2000, ...,
allowdupe => true
}
user { 'user2':
uid => 1001, gid => 2000, ...,
allowdupe => true
}
In YAML-ese, I guess you'd just add
accounts::users:
user1:
allowdupe: 'true'
