Puppet users - Jan 2014 - Setting node_name/node_name_fact makes reports not include real client hostname...

In our newer hosts, we are using the standard Puppet node classifier system 
but we override the node_name/node_name_fact settings on the client so that 
we can decouple hostnames with hosttypes:

puppet.conf [main] location on clients:
>     # Use the fact 'puppet_node' as our node classifier rather than
the
> hostname.
>     node_name = facter
>     node_name_fact = puppet_node
>
 
> [root@prod-exhibitor1-xyz:~]# facter -p puppet_node
> exhibitor_prod

The problem we have with this model right now is that when Puppet runs do 
fail, we get tagmail reports that aren't very useful:

  Subject: Puppet Report for exhibitor_prod


Is there a setting we're missing somewhere that will fix this and get us 
the actual hostname of the failed client, or do we need to open a bug to 
get this fixed?
