Answering my own, otherwise unanswered question, the problem was that
I had updated Cobbler from the version running when I took over from
the previous admin, from 1.0.2 to 1.2.4. The newer versions ships a
new dhcp template as /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template.rpmnew which contains
new conditional statements and variables that create the proper host
definitions. The $insert_cobbler_system_definitions variables now
seems defunct in this context. Hooray.
