virtualenv.managed ran twice over the same directory breaks it

[alexykot]

Description of Issue/Question

virtualenv.managed configured to create Python3 venv on first run does the right thing, but when run for second time on the same minion with already existing venv breaks it and resets to Python2.

Workaround - explicitly delete venv environment folder before (re)creating the venv.

Setup

/opt/projects/project
  virtualenv.managed:
    - cwd: /opt/projects/project
    - name: /opt/projects/project/venv
    - python: /bin/python3
    - pip_upgrade: True

Steps to Reproduce Issue

1. create virtualenv.managed state to create a python3 venv.
2. run salt '<minion_name>' state.apply on master.
3. login into the minion.
4. on minion run cd /opt/projects/project && . venv/bin/activate && which python && python --version
5. as expected get:

/opt/projects/project/venv/bin/python
Python 3.4.5

6. run salt '<minion_name>' state.apply on master again.
7. on minion run same cd /opt/projects/project && . venv/bin/activate && which python && python --version
8. suddenly get:

/bin/python
Python 2.7.5

@alexykot i'm haivng a hard time replicate this. When you run the state.apply again does it state that there were any changes?

[alexykot]

Just retried it, no, it returns:

          ID: project-venv
    Function: virtualenv.managed
        Name: /opt/projects/project/venv
      Result: True
     Comment: virtualenv exists
     Started: 09:35:04.548450
    Duration: 0.73 ms
     Changes:   

There are 88 states applied to this system at once when I run state.apply, and I'm not sure what can interfere here. How can I debug that?
