Bug #19005: Useradd does not remove groups when 'inclusive'

This is not a duplicate of #2249
I have some such block:
user { $title:
ensure => present,
name => $name,
gid => $gid,
groups => $totalgroups,
uid => $uid,
comment => $comment,
shell => $shell,
managehome => true,
membership => inclusive, # have tried in quotes too
password => $password,
tag => 'definedusers',
}
After repeated runs, it won't remove users from groups they don't belong in.
See:
$ cat /etc/group|grep sudo
sudo:x:27:baker,charlie
$ puppet agent --test
Notice: /Stage[main]//Node[common]/Create_user_type[echo]/User[echo]/groups:
groups changed 'puppet' to
'adm,cdrom,dip,lpadmin,plugdev,puppet,sambashare,sudo'
$ cat /etc/group|grep sudo
sudo:x:27:baker,charlie,echo
Puppet has added the user to sudo. I'll remove this from Hiera.
$ vi common.yaml
...
$ puppet agent --test
$ cat /etc/group|grep sudo
sudo:x:27:baker,charlie,echo
Puppet has NOT removed the user from
$ sudo usermod -G puppet echo
$ cat /etc/group|grep sudo
sudo:x:27:baker,charlie
$ puppet agent --test
$ cat /etc/group|grep sudo
sudo:x:27:baker,charlie
However puppet has not added the user back, either. It seems that the docs say
this should not happen:
membership
Whether specified groups should be considered the complete list
(inclusive) or the minimum
list (minimum) of groups to which the user belongs. Defaults to minimum.
Valid values are
inclusive, minimum.
-- http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#user
As shown above, the membership is "inclusive".
This breaks expected security-related behavior so priority is rather high.
$ puppet --version
3.0.2
