Bug #4932: file resource links => manage confusion

I'm not sure if this is a bug. My reading of the documentation leaves room
for a bit of confusion.
This example:
<pre>
$ mkdir /tmp/src
$ mkdir /tmp/src/dir
$ ln -sf dir /tmp/src/link
</pre>
<pre>
file { "/tmp/dst":
source => "file:///tmp/src",
links => manage,
recurse => remote,
force => true,
}
</pre>
Produces the following error:
<pre>
$ puppet recurse.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/dst]/ensure: created
notice: /File[/tmp/dst/dir]/ensure: created
err: /File[/tmp/dst/link]: Could not evaluate: Got nil value for content
$
</pre>
The documentation says:
<pre>
You cannot currently copy links using this mechanism; set links to follow if
any remote sources are links.
</pre>
But I'm not sure to what "mechanism" applies? If it applies to remote sources,
then I'm not
sure I understand the utility of "links => manage"? Does this mean you can't
"manage" links
for any copy? Only for non-copy file management?
If this is not a bug and my understanding of the documentation is correct, then
I think the ticket should be a feature request.
