and the following playbook:

Is it a bug, that set_fact ignores delegate_facts?

I can speculate since the documentation is a little iffy.

In the documentation is says
"delegate_facts
     Boolean that allows you to apply facts to delegated host instead of inventory_hostname."

"Delegated facts
By default, any fact gathered by a delegated task are assigned to the inventory_hostname (the current host) instead of the host which actually produced the facts (the delegated to host). In 2.0, the directive delegate_facts may be set to True to assign the task’s gathered facts to the delegated host instead of the current one"

So it seams that delegate_facts only work on gather facts, aka the setup module and not the set_facts that set a fact on host.
