I'm not sure this is true in all cases, although quickly testing with
a fact/filename mismatch this does work.
It used to be in some cases you may have to force a loadfacts as mentioned in
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Adding_Facts
Testing using irb shows the issue using a facts dir containing:
https://gist.github.com/714987
FACTERLIB=$(pwd)/facts irbirb(main):001:0> require 'facter'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Facter.value('bar')
=> "default"
