I think it's probably more complicated than that, with ties to
implementation details and [inconsistencies in] data model representation,
but I cannot answer the question authoritatively. Upon further
consideration, I agree that the observed behavior is inconsistent; I just
don't know which should be considered correct.

I suggest you do check bug tracker, and report the issue if it's not
already documented. I cannot speak to how a report against Puppet 3.6
would be received, but it might at least get someone to check against other
Puppet versions, especially if you can present simple, standalone, easily
tested code that reproduces it for you. Even if not, there's some value
just in having it documented.
