Bug #4335: Managing home directory

I'm not sure if this is a bug when managing an existing user through puppet 
doesn't seem to update the home directory permissions. Does it use usermod to 
update UID/GID if they are different? Usermod on Unix should change the 
owner/group for the home directory too. Please help.

Here my user resource and the user existed with different UID/GID and puppet 
updated the correct IDs but didn't change the permission on the home directory 
with the new UID/GID. I'm aware that I can use a file resource to make this 
happen but it would be nice to have a fix. I'm running puppet 0.25.4 on Cent OS 
5.4.

user { 'abc':
                allowdupe => false,
                ensure    => present,
                gid => '10000',
                uid => '1000',
                home => '/home/abc',
                shell => '/bin/bash',
                comment => 'ABC User',
                managehome => 'true',
        }
