Ramon, did you ever make progress on this?
On your test host is the local puppet.conf parameter node_name set to
'cert'? I may be out of date, but I recall the default values of the
'hostname' 'fqdn' & 'domain' puppet variables would be sourced from
the CN of the local cert. The puppet variable 'hostname' is a bit
different than the others. I think it's assigned using ||= internally,
so your facter fact may not override the existing internal value.
