I thought the erase_node[0] mcollective action was the process that cleared a node's disks after their removal from an environment. When do we use the ssh_erase_nodes? Is it a fall back mechanism if the mcollective fails? My understanding on the history is based around needing to have the partitions and data wiped so that the LVM groups and other partition information does not interfere with the installation process the next time the node is provisioned. That might have been a side effect of cobbler and we should test if it's still an issue for IBP.
