Not just iffy, it's non-existent. See 
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2937.
The patch removes the __system dict which has been unused since at least 
Jason's web UI work in 2009, Git tells me. The patch did leave the 
actual methods.


Well, actually it's not that hard to get these working again; see 
attached patch (which can be reviewed separately).

P.S. to test raw XML, you can use:

curl -v \
     -H "referer:https://`hostname`/ipa" \
     -H "Content-Type:text/xml" \
     -H "Accept:applicaton/xml" \
     --negotiate -u : \
     --delegation always \
     --cacert /etc/ipa/ca.crt \
     -d "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
     <methodCall>
         <methodName>system.methodHelp</methodName>
         <params>
             <param><type>string</type><value>ping</value></param>
         </params>
     </methodCall>"     -X POST       https://`hostname`/ipa/xml
