I'm evaluating Puppet Enterprise 2015.2, didn't have any problem until I've tried to install the agent on a SLES 11 box.
I've followed the procedure above:
1 - Added class pe_repo::platform::sles_11_x86_64 to PE Master group on PE Console
2 - Executed curl from the client:
curl -k https://myserver:8140/packages/current/install.bash | sudo bash
The command log:

Error running install script /tmp/tmp.SVlCxPXa7e
First note on script line 217:
zypper --non-interactive dist-upgrade --from puppet-enterprise
--from wasn't accepted as a valid argument. maybe the correct was '-r'?
Second note: The script didn't installed puppet-agent so I've tried to install it pushing the file puppet-agent-1.2.5-1.sles11.x86_64.rpm to the client and after that running a zypper in puppet-agent
With this workaround I was able to install the agent, then I ran the script again and got a problem with libfacter:

EDIT 1: It appears that it only happens on SLES 11 SP1. I've tested on SLES 11 SP3 and it's working.
