Issue #12864 has been updated by Brian Kane.
FWIW, I was able to fetch the domain name with the following WMI query:
Facter::Util::WMI.execQuery("select Domain from Win32_ComputerSystem").each
{ |system|
domain = system.Domain
break
}
This was on a 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise machine.

Bug #12864: Windows domain fact should use primary dns suffix first

Affected Facter version:
Currently, the domain fact on Windows looks for the domain of the first network
adapter for which IPEnabled is true. But Windows also has a concept of a
primary/global dns suffix. If the primary DNS suffix is set, but none of the
connection-specific domains are set, then facter will report an empty domain
(which also affects the fqdn).
According to <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959322.aspx>
<pre>
By default, the primary DNS suffix of a computer that is running Windows 2000
is set to the DNS name of the Active Directory domain to which the computer is
joined.
</pre>
Facter should use the primary DNS suffix as the domain, if it is defined.
Otherwise, fall back to what it does now. The value of the primary DNS suffix
is stored in
<pre>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Domain</pre>
There may also be a WMI way to retrieve this.
