I had a look in the code lately and it seems like this part is very much abstracted. I expect this to be the culprit: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util/execution.rb#L273 It seems like this behavior broke at some point without anyone noticing. I also bet it hasn't been fixed in Puppet 4 either. Have you already forwarded that bug to Puppetlabs?
