I agree that it can sound redundant in most cases, but there are a few cases when it makes sense. I think the main one is when the built-in set of facts is not enough to properly categorize your nodes. In this case, you're correct -- add the facts at the time of provisioning. Then they will be available for the first Puppet run.
