That should work, and does in my tests. Here's an example input that demonstrates three ways of using the file module:
file {
target => "1.txt",
content => "I am created",
}
file {
target => "2.txt",
source_url => "https://example.com/",
}
file {
target => "3.txt",
source => "/etc/passwd",
}
Before running I have no text-files, after I do:
frodo ~/Repos/github.com/skx/marionette $ ls *.txt
contains.txt
frodo ~/Repos/github.com/skx/marionette $ ./marionette fi
file/ file.in
frodo ~/Repos/github.com/skx/marionette $ ./marionette file.in
frodo ~/Repos/github.com/skx/marionette $ ls *.txt
1.txt 2.txt 3.txt contains.txt
Which type of file
operation are you using? A copy? A template? A literal content
attempt, or a remote HTTP/HTTPS fetch?
Does running with -debug
show any obvious error(s) ?

What I see is that if target is /down/a/subdir it won't mkdir -p the trail.

Ahah, that was the missing detail!
If you try to create a file in a directory that does not exist then I would expect that to fail and would not regard that as a bug.
Maybe there should be better error-handling to report upon it though.
Something like this is what you want:
# create the directory
directory{ name => "mkdir-/down/a", target => "/down/a/subdir" }
# fill it ..
file{ ...
require => "mkdir-/down/a" ,
... }
