I can't speak to whether or why these currently work for you, but they are
certainly not targeted specifically at the Puppet back end. They are
mostly intended for use in your hiera configuration file (hiera.yaml),
which is independent of any particular back end (since it's where you
define which one(s) to use). It's precisely the use case you described.
With that said, it looks like at least one other bug has been filed against
this functionality in Puppet 3, so perhaps you're running up against that.
In any case, I still say no, you're not off-base: what you're asking for is
supposed to already work.
