Puppet fails with invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

[Knalltuete5000]

Summary

When executing the puppet agent via ansible on a remote host, the command fails with invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII.
Executing the puppet agent on the remote host via a shell the command successfully ends with return code 0.

It looks due to shell environment used by ansible to execute the command the shell is not utf-8 compatible

OS / Environment

Remote: Ubuntu 22.04

Steps to Reproduce

Because of the dependency to puppet and the puppet code I cannot give an example to reproduce the bug. The latest puppet 7 version is used as a server and agent

This is the ansible code used to invoke the module

- name: puppet run
  community.general.puppet:
    puppetmaster: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"
    timeout: 60m
    verbose: true
    debug: true
    logdest: all
  register: puppet_agent_result
  until: puppet_agent_result.rc == 0

Expected Results

I expect that the puppet run finishes with return code 0 or 2 (puppet specifies this as success but changes were executed).

Actual Results

From the puppet logs

Error: Could not prefetch <module>: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
