Puppet users - Jul 2013 - What are the expected return codes for provider methods param() & param()=

I''m getting unexpected behavior from my provider methods. 
Here''s the
example.

parameter p
resource[ :p ] = ''hello''

def p()
  return ''hello''
end

def p()  return true   # Does the return value even matter?
end

Problem 1: p()=  is getting called.  Given that the return from p() matches 
the resource value, shouldn''t it skip p()= ?

Problem 2: after p()= runs, none of the follow-on actions take place.  Do I 
need to write extra code so that a require statement in another resource is 
notified of the change?
