cobbler 2.4.0 from epel-testing. Host runs SL 6.3 64bit.

No. It doesn't. I also tried with 2.2.3. Same.  Using the 
cobbler system edit --name="node_name" --template-files='<<inherit>>'
to try to "force the issue" has no effect. The 'Template Files' field
of the system object remains a {}.

That's a scenario I am contemplating too. It's like template
specialization in C++.
